The Large Hadron Collider experiment may soon provide us with valuable information regarding the flavor aspects of new physics. This may help us to experimentally confirm or refute the proposed framework of Minimal Flavor Violation in the Lepton sector (MLFV). We study the phenomenology of Minimal Lepton Flavor Violation (MLFV) in the case new vector-like leptons are accessible to the LHC assuming that the seesaw scale is higher than the flavor scale. Furthermore, we analyze the possibility of experimentally testing the MLFV hypothesis using the detectors ATLAS and CMS.
