Located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Georgia’s oil and gas pipelines and transport infrastructure, liberal tax system, competitive trade regimes, efficient regulatory framework and low level of corruption have led to the country's double-digit GDP growth and presented significant gains and opportunities for local and international businesses.
The world's top economic reformer according to the World Bank's "2007 Doing Business Report", Georgia ranks first in the CIS and 18th world-wide (out of 178 countries) for ease of doing business.
Since its inception in 1994 as Georgian Consulting Group, our office has been the leading legal services provider in Georgia. On joining DLA Piper in July 2005, we became part of a legal services organisation with widespread international reach and legal expertise across all practice areas and industries.
The staff of 30 lawyers, paralegals and professional personnel includes leading Georgian attorneys, as well as an American attorney and an English solicitor with lengthy experience in the region, giving the office a cross-border capacity unique in Georgia.
Our practice attracts clients involved in the most high profile international investment, financing and privatisation transactions in Georgia, as well as the most significant business disputes in local courts and international arbitrations. We operate as a full service law firm, providing legal advice and representation on a wide range of matters, including commercial, corporate, mergers and acquisitions, finance, securities, tax, customs, energy, banking, telecommunications, general litigation, real estate and IP matters.
