BGI Legal achieves outstanding results in the 2024 rankings of IFLR1000

BGI Legal has once again achieved outstanding results in the new edition of IFLR1000. 

International Financial Law Review 1000 is one of the most respected guides to the world’s leading financial and corporate law firms. With great pride we can announce that the publishers have ranked our firm Tier 1 for both practice areas covered by the guide in Georgia - Financial & Corporate and Project Development.  

The legal directory has also awarded Partner Lasha Gogiberidze the coveted ‘Leading Lawyer - Market Leader’ designation. 

Market Leaders are recognised by IFLR as the standout performers in their country or practice area. Out of 33 IFLR Georgian ranked lawyers, Lasha is once again the only lawyer from a local firm to be given the Market Leader classification with just one other Georgian lawyer, working at an international law firm, achieving this top ranking.    

Fellow Partners Sandro Bibilashvili, Zaza Bibilashvili, Unana Gogokhia and Tamara Tevdoradze win the ‘Highly Regarded Leading Lawyers’ rating. 

No other law firm in Georgia has received more senior rankings than BGI Legal in the new edition of the guide.

The research cycle for the 2024 guide features submissions from 7,500+ firms across 150+ jurisdictions and is the most detailed analysis of firms and lawyers working in corporate finance that IFLR have ever conducted. 

The IFLR1000 rankings are based on a mix of transactional evidence, peer comment and client feedback.
