In this crucial post-independence period of Georgia’s development, we have represented the lion’s share of truly diverse international clientele, ranging from international NGOs and diplomatic missions to industrial giants, multilateral lending institutions and multi-billion oil and gas consortia. Our experience is equally diverse and all-inclusive, ranging from start up guidance and incorporation of numerous investment vehicles to representation in some of the most noteworthy and complicated projects of the region in the past quarter century. We are equally well-known for our dispute resolution expertise, having acted in some of the highest profile disputes in the Georgian courts as well as in international arbitration, and having provided quality support to many cross-border arbitration and litigation matters involving Georgian law, including successful enforcement of a number of foreign arbitral awards in Georgia.
Throughout our various name changes and reincarnations since the early 1990’s, our core value and the key element to our success has been the unparalleled and uncompromised quality of our legal work. Indeed, ever since the early days of our legacy firm GCG Law Office, our law practice has been known as the highest quality legal service provider in Georgia. This well-deserved reputation for excellence in virtually every area of business law has been not just about meticulous attention to detail and flawless service, but also about user-friendly, pragmatic advice and real solutions making real difference to our clients in their day-to-day operations. We are proud that in this most difficult transitional period we have been at the forefronts of the development of Georgia’s newly born legal profession, and have aspired to the highest standards of professional ethics with the clients and our peers alike.
