Business legal support in Georgia is a complex process that covers all stages of a company’s activity and begins with proper corporate structuring. This includes not only selecting and registering the appropriate legal form, but also clearly regulating relations between partners, which is the main guarantee for preventing future internal conflicts. At the daily operational level, legal services focus on creating a high-quality contractual framework, where each contract is tailored to the specifics of the business, takes into account a prior risk analysis, and protects the client’s interests in relations with third parties.
Outsourcing
Outsourcing in Georgia is becoming increasingly popular, especially in the directions of IT, accounting, legal, and call center services. Companies often transfer specific functions to external contractors or remote teams, which reduces costs and increases flexibility. In properly structured outsourcing models, legal companies, including Nomos Georgia, actively participate by helping businesses prepare contracts, manage tax and labor risks, and ensure compliance of activities with Georgian legislation.
Corporate law
Corporate law is the cornerstone of business, ensuring company registration, preparation of the charter, and the validity of founding agreements. Which is regulated by the Georgian Law “on Entrepreneurs”. It includes legal support for boards of directors and supervisory boards in the management process. This field equally regulates different legal forms, including limited liability companies (LLC), joint stock companies (JSC), cooperatives, and non-entrepreneurial (non-commercial) legal entities, which is a guarantee of business stability and legal security.
Contract law
A contract is the foundation of business relations, defining the rights and obligations of the parties, the subject of the transaction, and responsibilities. Its drafting, revision, and legal expertise are crucial for mitigating risks, because simply signing a document cannot ensure compliance with its terms. The role of a legal company is precisely to develop defense mechanisms that will prevent future disputes and create legal guarantees for the full resolution of problems in case of contract breach.
Court representation and arbitration
Effective dispute management is a priority for any business, which makes the involvement of a qualified lawyer critical. Court representation is a traditional, but quite complex and lengthy way of resolving disputes, which requires multi-layered legal procedures. In parallel, alternative dispute resolution methods are becoming increasingly relevant, arbitration and mediation, which are characterized by speed and simplicity of the process. It is important that the conditions for using any of these mechanisms are clearly reflected and defined in advance in the contract, which allows the company to act prepared in case of conflict and protect its interests with minimal losses.
Labor law
Labor law is an integral part of daily business management, where properly structured documentation is the main condition for stability. Legal services in this direction include the preparation of employment contracts and internal company regulations, which ensure that relations between employer and employee are within the legal framework and prevent risks. In cases where a conflict already exists, a qualified lawyer ensures effective resolution of labor disputes, whether through mediation or court representation, in order to protect the interests of the parties and minimize possible financial or reputational damage.
Labor migration in Georgia is regulated by the Labor Code and relevant migration legislation. Employment relations arise between employer and employee on the basis of a contract and include working conditions, remuneration, working time, rest, and occupational safety. The law ensures the protection of employees’ rights and a non-discriminatory work environment.
Labor migration includes the employment of foreign citizens in Georgia as well as the employment of Georgian citizens abroad. When hiring a foreigner, it is necessary to conclude a labor contract and comply with Georgian labor and tax regulations. State supervision is carried out by relevant authorities to ensure both labor market order and the protection of migrant workers’ rights.
Tax law
The tax system of Georgia is a liberal and business-oriented model aimed at encouraging investments and simplifying economic activity. The main taxes are 20% income tax, 18% VAT, 15% profit tax (Estonian model), and property tax.
A special feature is that profit tax is levied only upon distribution, which gives companies the opportunity to reinvest without taxation. According to tax code, a person who stays in Georgia for more than 183 days is considered a resident and is taxed on both local and foreign income, while a non-resident is taxed only on income received in Georgia.
