The Law Office of Jeff Vail LLC provides tailored, cost-effective, and results-focused litigation solutions for small and medium-sized businesses.  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 prevailed on claims of breach of contract and fraud and obtained an award of over $630,000 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 $200,000 refund constituting nearly half of the original business purchase price.

Franchise Arbitration:  This firm prevailed in an arbitration between franchisees under the unique arbitration rules of a nationwide franchise system and received an award of $88,000 plus costs and attorney's fees.

Antitrust Litigation:  A collection of Denver nightclubs hired this firm to prosecute multi-million dollar civil antitrust claims including illegal tying, monopolization, and conspiracy to eliminate competition.  Effectively managing the discovery process, 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 25% of competing firms' cost estimates.  This firm defeated defendants' motions to dismiss and is currently preparing for a three-week jury trial in this case.

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.

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.
