BGI Legal ranked top tier by 2020 edition of IFLR1000

BGI Legal has once again received the highest possible ranking in the latest IFLR1000 Guide to the World's Leading Financial Law Firms. 

BGI is ranked tier one for both practice areas covered by the guide in Georgia, namely Financial & Corporate and Project Development. 

Four of the firm’s lawyers have again received prestigious individual rankings. 

Partners Sandro Bibilashvili, Zaza Bibilashvili and Unana Gogokhia are all designated Highly Regarded Leading Lawyers whilst Partner Lasha Gogiberidze wins the premier Leading Lawyer - Market Leader designation. 

Market Leaders are recognised by IFLR as the standout performers in their country or practice area. Lasha Gogiberidze is the only lawyer so ranked amongst local firms with just one other Georgian lawyer, working at an international law firm, having a similar designation. 

IFLR says of the firm: 

“BGI Legal is one of the leading names in Georgia’s legal market and has strength across the board, often playing a role in the country’s largest transactions.  

“The firm is also renowned for its capital markets work, a rarity in the jurisdiction, and recently represented clients on eurobond issues and listings on the LSE.“ 

Focussed on ranking law firms and lawyers on the basis of financial and corporate transactional work, the IFLR1000 has been researching legal markets for 30 years. 

Its inclusion and ranking of firms and leading lawyers is based on research including interviews with private practice lawyers and in-house counsel in global business and finance centres.

The four-partner team at BGI Legal provides a ‘responsive, proactive and solution-oriented service to a wide range of international corporates both directly and on a referral basis from major international law firms; it has built a strong reputation acting for investors and lenders on many of the country s largest projects. The ‘excellent Lasha Gogiberidze has led the team s work in several major energy mandates, including advising an Asian investor on a hydropower project. Gogiberidze is also regularly involved in financing work, including inter-bank lending, regulatory lending (to comply with capital adequacy requirements) and capital markets work, where Unana Gogokhia is also establishing a strong reputation.
