WELCOME
   Established in 1996, Amirashvili, Gogishvili & Shengelia, G.P. (AGS G.P.) being the first U.S.-Georgia legal firm (formerly International Advocates, L.L.C.) to start practicing law in Georgia, maintains its head office in Tbilisi and a liaison office in Atlanta. The firm has quickly grown into one of the leading and well-established groups, rendering quality legal services to the variety of resident and non-resident businesses operating in Georgia, the Caucasus and the Central Asian Republics. We represent various real estate developers, major food and beverage as well as international oil, gas and energy related businesses.
  Considering the relatively young legal environment of business in Georgia coupled with the growing dynamic of creative lawmaking the firm has successfully assisted various entrepreneurs in launching their endeavors and in meeting their respective in-country business objectives. In addition, for the interested clientele AGS G.P..G.P. covers the regions East of Georgia (Central Asian Republics, Azerbaijan) utilizing the services of its partner law offices stationed in the key interest areas.
OUR GOALS
   Our primary objective is to facilitate the establishment and development of foreign business activities in the region in the most efficient way. We back Western businesses in overcoming the barriers associated with the existing conflict of cultures and changing laws in the regions of Caucasus and Central Asia. We have understanding of the needs and anticipation of Western businesses entering the challenging regions of the Caucasus and the Central Asian Republics. The countries of rapid changes have dynamic laws, while a lot of governmental procedures are burdensome and over-bureaucratic. The combination of Western and local education and professionalism enables us to dedicate our efforts to clients’ needs. Our advantage is based on our knowledge and experience in transacting businesses according to both Western and local standards and traditions. We have successfully solved the problems connected with the movement of goods and services as well as manufacturing activities throughout the region.
  AGS G.P. has handled the creation of successful joint ventures and agreements between business groups of different ethics and mentality, has launched thorough due diligence investigations, identified potentially lucrative projects and offered qualified business planning.
SERVICE
  Our experience and practice with nearly all the governmental agencies and ministries of the region enable us to expedite and facilitate traditionally bureaucratic procedures and, in a timely manner, effectuate appropriate licensing as well as the issuance of permits for various projects. The atmosphere of security and stability for locals as well as for the foreigners operating in Georgia has been improved since McDonalds and Coca-Cola brought elements of Western traditions to the troubled regions of Southern Caucasus. We are proud to be the law firm contributing to the establishment of such prominent Western businesses in the country as well as in the region as a whole.
  GMT Group is the biggest multipurpose enterprise in Georgia and is associated with the very beginning of private investment flow to the country. Since the beginning of the 1990’s attorneys now part of our firm have provided the GMT projects with a wide range of legal services.
