BGI Legal gains exceptional rankings in Chambers Europe 2023

BGI Legal continues to earn exceptional rankings as one of the leading law firms practising in Europe in the latest edition of Chambers Europe.

The firm once again wins the top ranking in the General Business Law category whilst in the individual lawyer rankings Senior Partner Lasha Gogiberidze is again Band 1 ranked. Also winning a Band 1 ranking is Partner Unana Gogokhia who “climbs to the top tier this year as a result of exceptional market support.”

Top flight rankings were again won by Senior Partner Zaza Bibilashvili and Partner Sandro Bibilashvili in both the General Business Law and Dispute Resolution categories.

Chambers Europe rankings cover 52 jurisdictions and are based on thousands of interviews with lawyers, clients and industry leaders, with the most weight assigned to client feedback. The final rankings consider a lawyer's legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial awareness, commitment and other qualities that clients consider valuable.

This recognition follows close on the heels of our practice being top ranked in the Chambers Global Directory. No other law firm based in Georgia has more top-level rankings than BGI Legal.

We would like to thank our clients and peers for their generous feedback and support, and of course, to congratulate all our team members for their exceptional work.
