Our Investment and Sale Advisory service provides a comprehensive legal partnership for navigating Georgia's dynamic but complex investment landscape. This service is engineered to provide foreign investors and existing asset owners with absolute legal certainty, whether acquiring new property, structuring a strategic market entry, or divesting from a current holding. We manage the entire transaction lifecycle, transforming a high-stakes international process into a secure, transparent, and legally perfected investment. Our role is to act as your dedicated legal advocate, applying rigorous due diligence and expert negotiation to protect your interests at every stage.
For foreign investors entering the Georgian market, the initial legal structure of the investment is a critical determinant of future security and flexibility. We provide expert advisory on establishing the optimal framework for holding assets, often recommending the formation of a Georgian Limited Liability Company (LLC) under the Law of Georgia on Entrepreneurs. This corporate structure creates a distinct legal personality, shielding your personal assets from business-related liabilities. It also offers straightforward governance and potential tax efficiencies. We guide you through the entire corporate formation process, ensuring the holding structure is perfectly tailored to your specific investment goals and long-term strategy.
The cornerstone of any secure acquisition is an exhaustive legal due diligence investigation to eliminate uncertainty. Before you commit capital, our team conducts a meticulous examination of the target asset to uncover any hidden legal or financial risks. This multi-faceted process includes a thorough title verification through the official electronic database of the LEPL National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR) to confirm the seller's undisputed ownership and trace the property's history. We conduct a detailed search for any encumbrances, including mortgages, tax liens, court-ordered freezes, registered leases, or servitudes that could impact the asset's value or your intended use. For developed properties, we also verify compliance with municipal construction permits and zoning regulations to prevent future legal issues.
During the active transaction phase, we provide robust representation to safeguard your contractual rights. Our legal experts draft and negotiate the terms of both Preliminary Agreements and the final Sale and Purchase Agreement, ensuring all documents are fully compliant with the Civil Code of Georgia. We craft clauses that explicitly protect your interests, incorporating seller warranties, clear definitions of the asset, and specific remedies for breach of contract. Representing you during negotiations, we work to secure the most favorable commercial and legal terms possible before proceeding to the final closing.
The final step in a Georgian property transaction is the most critical: the formal closing and registration of title. We manage this entire concluding phase with precision. We prepare all necessary documentation for the joint application to the Public Registry, ensure all related taxes and fees are correctly calculated and paid, and oversee the submission process. In Georgia, the transfer of ownership is legally perfected only upon its registration with the NAPR. We monitor this process until the new official ownership extract is issued in your name, providing you with irrefutable legal proof of your title and completing the transaction securely.
