Common questions
Choose a lawyer based on the type of matter, the clarity of the initial assessment, the proposed scope of work and the lawyer’s ability to explain risks and procedure. A useful first conversation should identify the objective, important dates, documents and whether the lawyer can accept the matter after a conflict check. Avoid treating a promised outcome as a substitute for analysis.
Many legal tasks can begin remotely. The lawyer can review documents, hold an online consultation and explain which steps require an original document, notarization, apostille, legalization, certified translation or a power of attorney. Court, registry, banking and transaction requirements depend on the specific matter, so the remote route should be planned rather than assumed.
Send a short chronology and the documents that directly relate to the issue: the relevant contract, official decision, court document, registry extract, important correspondence or proof of payment. Identify the other parties and any deadline. Large unstructured document dumps can slow the assessment; start with the core record and explain what additional material exists.
No responsible legal assessment can guarantee the decision of a court, authority or opposing party. A lawyer can assess the legal framework, evidence, procedure and principal risks, recommend a strategy and carry out the agreed work professionally. The distinction between strong preparation and guaranteed outcome is part of responsible representation.
Fees depend on the scope, complexity, urgency, volume of documents, procedural stage and expected work. A consultation or contract review is different from full litigation or ongoing corporate support. External expenses such as state fees, translations, notary fees, experts, couriers or registry charges may be separate and should be identified where relevant.
Our services include dispute preparation and representation within the agreed scope. Before court action, we assess jurisdiction, standing, evidence, deadlines, available remedies and whether negotiation or another route should be considered. Some cases also require an appeal, enforcement, administrative step or urgent interim application.
Yes. Property work can include registry review, ownership and encumbrance checks, seller authority, contract review, construction or project documentation, closing structure and registration. The scope of due diligence depends on whether the property is completed, under construction, commercial, financed or subject to existing rights.
We advise on Georgian company and corporate matters, including governance, corporate documents, shareholder relations, commercial agreements, transactions and disputes. Registration is only one stage; foreign founders should also understand representation authority, banking, tax/accounting interfaces and ongoing corporate responsibilities.
State the deadline in the first line of your inquiry. Examples include an upcoming hearing, appeal or complaint deadline, arrest or questioning, an imminent transaction, enforcement action, travel-related family issue or risk to property. We can then determine whether immediate review is possible and which document is essential first.
We handle inquiries carefully, but sending a website form does not automatically create a lawyer-client relationship. Do not send unnecessary highly sensitive material before the office confirms the appropriate channel and completes any required conflict check. Use the form to provide enough information for an initial assessment and identify the parties.
Before you contact the office
The fastest way to obtain a useful initial response is to provide the essential structure of the matter. Tell us who the parties are, what happened, the relevant dates, what result you are seeking and whether there is an immediate deadline. If a court, police body, registry, municipality, ministry or other authority is involved, identify it and attach the latest important document.
This information serves two purposes. It allows an initial conflict check and it helps determine which lawyer or practice area should review the matter. It also prevents an urgent procedural issue from being hidden inside a long narrative.
After the initial assessment
If the matter is suitable for the office, the next step is to define the scope. That may be a consultation, written opinion, contract review, negotiation, preparation of a filing, representation in proceedings or ongoing legal support. The scope should be clear enough for both the client and lawyer to understand what is included and what information is still required.
The first assessment may also show that another professional is needed — for example a translator, notary, accountant, auditor, appraiser or technical expert. In that situation the legal work should identify the interface and sequence rather than pretending that legal advice replaces specialized evidence.
Use public information carefully
Website content can explain general Georgian legal concepts, but it cannot know the complete facts of your case. A small factual difference can change jurisdiction, a deadline, the available remedy or the evidence required. For this reason, the FAQ and legal guides should be used to prepare for advice, not to make a high-stakes decision without individual review.
Where the current law or procedure is important, official sources should be checked. Our official legal sources page provides starting points for legislation, courts and registries in Georgia.
