In today’s global economy, accessing international talent provides a distinct competitive advantage. However, hiring foreign nationals exists at the complex intersection of two legal fields: immigration law and labor law. Navigating this dual framework requires specialized expertise. Legal Sandbox offers an integrated legal solution for the compliant and efficient employment of foreign workers in Georgia, allowing you to focus on leveraging their talent while we manage the legal complexities.
Our primary role is to provide strategic counsel throughout the entire lifecycle of employing foreign nationals, ensuring your practices comply simultaneously with Georgian immigration mandates and the Labor Code. This involves advising on proper employment structures for expatriates, drafting employment contracts that account for immigration status, and ensuring foreign employees receive all their rights under local labor laws. The holistic approach of Legal Sandbox safeguards your organization from the risks of non-compliance, which can include significant fines, visa cancellations, and reputational harm.
Beyond strategy, Legal Sandbox provides comprehensive, hands-on support with the critical administrative processes required to bring foreign talent to Georgia. We guide both the employer and the employee through the often-complex procedures for securing necessary work permits, visas, and residence permits. We manage the preparation and submission of all required documentation and liaise with government agencies to streamline the application process, reducing the administrative burden on your HR team. Our goal is to make the entire immigration journey as smooth and predictable as possible for your new team member.
