Lawyers.ge in Tbilisi Strengthens GDPR and Data-Protection Practice with Certified Experts
January 2026, Tbilisi
As Georgia continues to align its legal and regulatory environment with European standards, personal data protection has become one of the most sensitive and legally demanding areas for businesses operating in and from the country. Since 1 June 2024, Georgian law has introduced clear obligations for entire categories of companies to appoint a Personal Data Protection Officer and to operate under structured data-protection frameworks that mirror the European Union’s GDPR regime.
For Lawyers.ge in Tbilisi, this is not a future development — it is already part of daily legal practice.
The firm’s lawyers and compliance team are now formally trained and certified in Georgian and EU personal data protection law and are actively implementing GDPR-aligned systems for Georgian and international clients. These services are already being used by technology companies, outsourcing providers, financial services firms, and cross-border businesses that depend on the lawful processing of personal data to operate in the EU and beyond.
The training and certification were completed through an advanced professional program focused on GDPR, Georgian data-protection law, cyber-security and compliance. The course was delivered by leading specialists in the field, including Tamta Aftarauli, a cyber-security expert and lecturer at Caucasus University and SCSA, and Ketevani Tzhelidze, a certified Personal Data Protection Officer and cyber-security lecturer. Their work focuses not only on legal theory but on how data protection is applied in real IT systems, corporate workflows, and security environments.
This practical dimension is what makes the difference for clients of Lawyers.ge.
Rather than providing abstract compliance advice, the firm helps companies build complete and defensible data-protection systems. This includes mapping data flows, defining lawful bases for processing, setting up breach-response procedures, drafting GDPR-compliant internal and external policies, and establishing proper accountability structures. Where required by law, Lawyers.ge also provides certified Personal Data Protection Officers who formally represent the company before regulators and supervise ongoing compliance.
For international businesses working with Georgian entities, this has become increasingly important. Banks, payment providers, advertising platforms and EU counterparties now routinely require proof that a company’s data handling meets GDPR standards. Without this, even technically successful businesses can be blocked from opening accounts, signing contracts, or scaling their operations.
By integrating legal, regulatory and technical expertise under one roof, Lawyers.ge in Tbilisi positions Georgian companies to meet these expectations in a way that is credible not only locally, but also in the European Union, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. It also allows foreign-owned companies operating through Georgia to maintain continuity with their EU compliance obligations.
As data protection enforcement continues to tighten across Europe and in Georgia, the ability to demonstrate lawful, transparent and secure data processing is no longer optional. For many companies, it is becoming as fundamental as tax or corporate compliance.
Through its certified data-protection team and international legal practice, Lawyers.ge is already helping clients navigate this shift — quietly, professionally, and in a way that regulators, banks and business partners can trust.
