History
With roots in Chicago, Illinois, the firm was founded in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1968 by Edwin M. Luedeka and focuses exclusively on intellectual property legal services. In 1982, Andy Neely joined the firm and Luedeka Neely was born shortly thereafter. Luedeka Neely has experienced continued success and has continued to grow its practice and clientele since that time.
In the fall of 2015, Luedeka Neely expanded beyond its Knoxville office and opened a second location in Asheville, North Carolina. Today, from its Knoxville and Asheville offices, Luedeka Neely continues to specialize in intellectual property law, with patents, trademarks, copyrights, unfair competition, trade secrets and rights of publicity being the focus of the firm’s practice.
