About Founders Legal® | Bekiares Eliezer LLP
Founders Legal® | Bekiares Eliezer LLP is a boutique intellectual property and technology law firm headquartered at 3423 Piedmont Rd NE in Atlanta, Georgia. The firm describes itself as combining big-law expertise with tech-founder DNA, and its stated audience is founders, funders, and executives - creators, entrepreneurs, and companies that need to secure what they build before it is exposed to risk.
The practice spans business and corporate law, including formation, governance, capital raising, contracts, and exits, alongside a deep intellectual property practice. Patent work covers professional and AI-powered patent searches, design and utility filings, provisional applications, international filings, prosecution, and monitoring. Trademark services include search, application, filing, prosecution, enforcement, infringement matters, opposition and cancellation, and trademark litigation. Technology and data law addresses SaaS, AI, licensing, and data systems, while separate practice groups handle entertainment and sports law, data privacy and cybersecurity, and intellectual property litigation and business disputes. The firm also runs FoundHERs™, an initiative for women innovators in legal, tech, and business, and publishes a news and resource center that includes patent-focused content such as USPTO Section 101 subject-matter eligibility guidance.
Clients most often describe the firm through its patent and trademark work. Reviewers cite applications moved to publication and registration, provisional and utility patent filings prepared and submitted, and enforcement or settlement outcomes that exceeded expectations. A recurring theme is communication: attorneys explaining each step, talking through options, following up as matters progress, and keeping clients informed. Several reviewers highlight individual attorneys and paralegals by name, noting organization around fee schedules and deadlines. Founders and small-business owners also describe the firm as approachable and reasonably priced relative to other options they considered, and a notable share of reviews come from clients with multi-year relationships spanning patents, trademarks, and corporate matters.
A small number of reviewers report significant dissatisfaction, including concerns about case handling and communication that in one instance led to a bar complaint, and one reviewer describes billing as the weak point, citing an invoice arriving months later and a charge for a meeting they had not expected to be billed.
The office is at 3423 Piedmont Rd NE #246, Atlanta, GA 30305. The listed telephone number is +1404-537-3686. The practice website is founderslegal.com.
