Commercial contracts in Georgia
Drafting, review and translation of contracts in English, Georgian and Russian.
Service, supply, distribution, agency, software and lease agreements and non-disclosure agreements, drafted or reviewed under Georgian or foreign law, with bilingual versions where the counterparty or an authority needs one.
Contracts in Georgia: language, governing law and disputes
Businesses may choose the law that governs most commercial contracts, and English, Georgian or Russian can be the language of the contract. Between businesses a Georgian version is not usually required, but some filings with authorities need a Georgian text or a certified translation, and a bilingual contract should state which version prevails.
The dispute clause matters as much as the governing law. Litigation in the Georgian courts, domestic arbitration and international arbitration lead to different timelines and enforcement routes; because Georgia is a party to the New York Convention, foreign arbitral awards can be recognised and enforced here. Every review ends with a short risk summary in plain language: the clauses that matter, what to change and why, so that you can negotiate from a clear position.
