The FINANCIAL — Dentons, the world’s largest law firm, celebrated the grand opening of its Tbilisi office with a client reception at the Rooms Hotels Tbilisi on Wednesday, 17 May.
More than 100 guests attended the event, including representatives of Georgia’s business elite as well as several senior government officials. Rezo Kiknadze Jazz Quintet provided musical entertainment for the evening.
In his opening remarks, Otar Kipshidze, Managing Partner of Dentons Georgia emphasized the Firm’s commitment to quality, “Our clients will continue to have the same team working on their matters and the same high quality service they have come to expect from us. At the same time, we will now be able to serve their needs in any major jurisdiction around the globe, and since Dentons was recently named ‘Europe Law Firm of the Year’ by Chambers & Partners, our clients can be confident that they are in good hands.”
Kipshidze also pointed out Dentons’ unique capabilities in China, “No other global law firm can offer better coverage of China. Taking into account that the Georgian government has just signed a free trade agreement with China, Dentons is the best choice to help Georgian companies enter the Chi-nese market and Chinese investors enter Georgia.”
Tomasz Dabrowski, CEO of Dentons Europe CEO, added, “With more than 8000 lawyers around the world, there is simply a greater probability that we can offer clients the exact right lawyer, with the right capabilities in the right location than any other law firm.”
The Tbilisi office, which joined Dentons on May 1, 2017, solidifies the Firm’s market leadership in CEE, CIS and Central Asia. Dentons is now the only global law firm to offer clients on-the-ground legal knowledge in Georgia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine.
