We are thrilled to announce that the new edition of the Legal 500 EMEA issued on the 25 March 2026 has inducted Sandro Bibilashvili into the directory’s Hall of Fame.

The Legal 500 Hall of Fame is a prestigious recognition honouring partners who have consistently received highest-tier praise from clients and peers for sustained excellence, often requiring top-tier ranking for multiple consecutive years. This elite recognition highlights legal practitioners at the pinnacle of their profession globally. Sandro joins fellow BGI inductee Senior Partner Lasha Gogiberidze and with Senior Partner Zaza Bibilashvili previously inducted into the Hall of Fame this means that we are the only firm in Georgia to have won three Hall of Fame recognitions.

The new directory once again bestows the highest honours on our firm with Tier 1 rankings for all four categories allocated to Georgia, namely Banking and finance, Commercial, corporate and M&A, Dispute resolution, and Real Estate and construction.

Congratulations are further due to BGI lawyers individually ranked in the latest edition. Lasha Gogiberidze, Zaza Bibilashvili, Sandro Bibilashvili, Unana Gogokhia and Giorgi Sarajishvili once again secure the top-tier Leading Partner recognitions whilst Lika Topuria is honoured with a Leading Associate ranking. Partner Tamara Tevdoradze and Legal Director Sophie Natroshvili are also recommended in the new Legal 500 edition.

Some of our favourite client quotes published in the directory:

‘Compared to other firms we have worked with, we found their client service to be outstanding — they are attentive, flexible, and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcomes for us.’

‘The lawyers at the very top of the profession, widely known and respected by peers and clients for their longstanding involvement in market-leading work.’

‘Among the individuals I have worked with, Sandro Bibilashvili clearly stands out as the leading lawyer. He combines deep expertise in maritime law with perfect case management skills, ensuring that even the most complex disputes are handled with precision and efficiency. What sets him apart from competitors is his ability to integrate profound legal knowledge with an organized, forward-looking approach to strategy.’

‘Unana Gogokhia deserves special recognition for her leadership on the project. She demonstrated exceptional strategic insight, a calm and pragmatic approach under pressure, and a willingness to go above and beyond to ensure our objectives were achieved.’

Congratulations to everyone who contributed to these rankings!
