Why we exist
Legally.ge was founded in 2018 to fill an obvious gap. Georgia’s 2017 adoption of the Estonian-style Corporate Income Tax model, combined with the existing Small Business Status regime and a wide treaty network, had quietly turned the country into one of Europe’s most efficient onshore jurisdictions for digital businesses. But the supporting professional infrastructure — English-speaking lawyers fluent in cross-border tax, full-service accountants comfortable handling foreign-owned LLCs, properly-introduced banking relationships — was thin and scattered. Founders arriving in Tbilisi had to assemble it themselves, often after weeks of friction.
We built the alternative: one firm, end-to-end, from incorporation through banking through monthly accounting through ongoing legal support. Three working languages. Bar- admitted advice on the matters that need it. A single point of contact for everything.
What we do, exactly
Five service clusters covering the lifecycle of a foreign- owned Georgian business:
- Incorporation. Georgian LLCs, Individual Entrepreneurs, and Small Business Status applications — registered at the Public Service Hall with charter drafting, RS.ge onboarding, and bank introduction included.
- Residency. Residence permits across all five categories, tax residency via the 183-day rule or the HNWI programme, and Georgian ID card applications.
- Banking. Personal and corporate account openings at TBC Bank, Bank of Georgia, Liberty, and Credo — with pre-checked KYC documentation and direct relationship-manager introductions.
- Accounting & tax. Monthly bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, tax filings, and year- end close for LLCs and IEs. RS.ge run end-to-end on the client’s behalf.
- Legal services. Day-to-day contract drafting and review, dispute resolution, corporate maintenance, employment law, and IP — typically on a small monthly retainer.
How we work
Three principles that shape every engagement:
1. Clear, fixed-fee pricing where possible.Incorporation, permit applications, and routine corporate filings are quoted as fixed fees before the work begins. Recurring services (accounting, legal retainers) are quoted as a fixed monthly cost based on transaction volume and retainer hours. Hourly billing applies only to genuinely unpredictable matters (litigation, complex cross-border structuring) and we cap budgets in advance.
2. One contact, one bill. Most foreign founders coming to Tbilisi end up with three or four parallel providers — one for incorporation, one for the bank, one for accounting, one for legal. We unify all of those under a single engagement letter. Communication, billing, and accountability all run through one channel.
3. Three languages, no compromise. Calls, contracts, and correspondence in English, Russian, or Georgian. Cross-border counsel coordination in whichever language the foreign lawyer prefers. Internal team discussions whatever works fastest.
Where we are
Our office is on Rustaveli Avenue in central Tbilisi — five minutes’ walk from the Tbilisi City Court Civil Cases Panel and ten minutes from the Public Service Hall. The firm is wholly owned by its Georgian-resident partners. Our full contact details, hours, and a map are on the contact page.
