BGI Legal is pleased to have provided pro bono legal support to PILnet in the development of its guide on Regulatory Compliance and Legal Risk Assessment for Civil Society Organizations in Georgia.

We are pleased to announce that our Junior Associate, Tamar Tkeshelashvili, has published her first academic article in Tbilisi State University's bilingual, international, double-blind peer-reviewed Journal of Law.

Her article, "Legal Aspects of Distinguishing Human Creative Contribution from Visual Content Generated by Artificial Intelligence," addresses one of the most significant legal challenges arising from the rapid development of artificial intelligence: distinguishing human creative contribution from AI-generated visual content in the context of copyright law. The paper examines the legal boundaries of authorship and explores where human intellectual contribution ends and the independent role of AI begins. The article is available here: https://jlaw.tsu.ge/index.php/JLaw/issue/view/1148/723

 BGI founding partner Zaza Bibilashvili says: “This publication marks an important milestone in Tamar's academic journey, reflects her professional excellence and commitment to addressing emerging legal challenges. We are proud to have Tamar as a member of BGI team and congratulate her on this notable achievement. We wish her continued success and look forward to her future contributions to both legal scholarship and practice.” 

We are delighted to announce that our associate, Ekaterina Pipia, has successfully defended her doctoral dissertation and has been awarded the academic degree of Doctor of Law (PhD). Her dissertation explores the acquisition of shares in limited liability companies and the rights attached to such shares from a comparative law perspective, making a valuable contribution to the field of corporate law.

We warmly congratulate Ekaterina on this outstanding academic achievement, which reflects her dedication to legal scholarship and professional excellence. We are proud to have her as a member of the BGI Legal team and wish her continued success in her academic and legal career.

BGI Legal is proud to be shortlisted for three major prizes at the Legal 500 CEE Awards 2026!
