The Law Office of Jeff Vail LLC provides tailored, cost-effective, and results-focused litigation solutions for small and medium-sized businesses. Rather than impose the limitations of a fixed support staff on clients, I assemble and lead teams of attorneys, support personnel and technical experts as required by each client's specific needs and budget. Representative cases and clients include:
Franchise Dispute: This firm represented a dental franchisee in a dispute with its franchisor. After a two-week arbitration hearing, we obtained an award of over a half million dollars in favor of our client, full release from an associated lease, loan, and personal guarantees, and successfully defended against the franchisor's four million dollar counterclaim.
Business Fraud: This firm asserted fraud and civil theft claims on behalf of our client related to an asset purchase agreement. Pursuing an aggressive strategy of including a preliminary expert witness report with our initial demand letter, we settled the case at mediation for a six-figure refund constituting nearly half of the original business purchase price.
Antitrust Litigation: A collection of Denver nightclubs hired this firm for its ability to assemble a cost-effective team spanning the diverse fields of expertise needed to prosecute antitrust claims including illegal tying, monopolization, and conspiracy to eliminate competition. Effectively controlling litigation costs, this firm has taken or defended over twenty depositions in several states, managed multiple expert witnesses, and processed over 300,000 pages of discovery for less than 20% of competing firms' cost estimates, while prevailing in every disputed motion ruled on to date.
Oppression of Minority Members: This firm currently represents several minority members and an investor in a technology start-up bringing claims of civil theft, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract against the managing member and its owners.
Right of Publicity and Unjust Enrichment: This firm represents a reality TV star asserting claims of misappropriation of right of publicity and unjust enrichment against a television production company and cable television network.
Breach of Fiduciary Duty: A partner in a mountain property development venture hired this firm to bring claims of breach of fiduciary duty, civil theft, and lender liability against its partner and their primary lender.
