Congratulations to BGI Legal Partners Unana Gogokhia and Tamara Tevdoradze for being recognized in IFLR1000 Women Leaders 2021.   The guide was published on May 5, 2021.

This recognition  underlines not just the dominance of the firm in the jurisdiction but also its commitment to inclusion and diversity and the advancement of women within the firm.

Lasha Gogiberidze, Senior Partner at BGI Legal, said “we are proud to see two female leaders recognized for their outstanding contribution as distinguished and highly respected attorneys. We are privileged to have these illustrious female leaders at the firm.” 

According to IFLR1000, the Women Leaders are “the most prominent female lawyers working in the areas of law we research (financial and corporate transactions and contract, licensing and regulatory project work) within their jurisdictions.”

They are noted as an “elite group of lawyers with outstanding reputations within their markets” who have expertise working on complex deals or leadership roles with their firms or their practices or, in some case, both.

BGI Legal is delighted to welcome Tamara Tevdoradze to the partnership, underpinning the firm’s commitment to developing and retaining the region’s most talented professionals.

Tamara is a highly skilled attorney with over 22 years’ experience in real estate transactions, secured transactions, employment, telecommunications, as well as general commercial and corporate law. She is one of the few attorneys with extensive practice in personal data protection.

As well as her partnership promotion BGI Legal are very pleased to announce a second milestone for their new Partner – Tamara has just passed her New York State Bar Exam.

Senior Partner, Lasha Gogiberidze, congratulated Tamara Tevdoradze on her advancement.

“Being part of the original team behind the formation of BGI in 2005 Tamara has proven to be an increasingly important member of the team, building her knowledge and nurturing her client base. We look forward to the continued enhancement of her role within the firm,”

Tamara, who had previously been a Legal Director, added: “I am delighted to join the partnership and thank the current partners for their support and trust.”
