2024 Elite Lawyer: Jason Vail

Shareholder, Allen Norton & Blue

Whether an entrepreneurial startup or a nationwide major corporation, the ins and outs of owning and operating a business are numerous. Jason Vail of Allen Norton & Blue aims to assist organizations in navigating the ever-changing legal landscape with an emphasis on employee relations and human resources.

Vail, a shareholder at Allen Norton & Blue’s Tallahassee office, represents employers in all areas of employment law including compliance issues and litigation under various federal, state and local employment and labor laws such as discrimination claims based on race, religion, gender, disability, national origin, pregnancy and more.

Vail is board-certified by the Florida Bar in Labor and Employment Law, a prestigious accomplishment held by fewer than 200 out of over 100,000 attorneys in the state of Florida.  This impressive designation recognizes attorneys’ special knowledge, skills, and proficiency in the area of certification and acknowledges the highest levels of professionalism and ethics in their practice.

During his nearly 20-year career, Vail has had the pleasure of working with many local North Florida small businesses and nonprofits as well as handling numerous high-profile litigation cases across the state. Vail travels throughout Florida holding lectures and conducting training on employment-related matters such as human resource law, unionized workforces, management best practices and more.

“I get to travel statewide and meet so many great people, which gives me greater appreciation for the wonderful sense of community and the tight-knit business culture in Tallahassee,” said Vail.

Vail also currently serves as president on the board of directors for Big Bend Habitat for Humanity, a role he finds extremely gratifying, supporting access to affordable housing in his community.  During his time off, Vail enjoys traveling with his family and watching the Noles!

“I pride myself on being available when my clients need me the most and zealously advocating on their behalf with the goal of reaching the best result for them,” said Vail. “At the end of the day, I define success not only by positive legal outcomes, but by the long-standing relationships I enjoy with my clients who have entrusted me over and over again with their livelihoods and their reputations.”
