We are delighted to announce that BGI Legal has maintained its Tier 1 rankings in the latest edition of IFLR1000. Once again our firm has been top ranked for both practice areas covered by the guide in Georgia - Financial & Corporate and Project Development. 

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.
