TaxAdvisory.ge · Assio Lex and Associates LLC

Sign with a clearer understanding of your rights and obligations. We draft, review and negotiate contracts for businesses and individuals dealing with Georgian counterparties, employees and service providers.

Focus on the terms that matter

Before you sign, you should know what you must deliver, when you will be paid and what happens if the arrangement changes. We explain the commercial and legal issues in practical language and prepare revisions you can use in the negotiation.

Agreements we can help with

  • Service, consultancy and software-development agreements.
  • Employment and contractor agreements.
  • Shareholder, company-transfer and director-service documents.
  • Leases, supply agreements, distribution arrangements and NDAs.
  • Amendments, termination arrangements and settlement terms.

Review, redraft or prepare from the beginning

Send the draft and tell us which side you represent, the commercial terms already agreed and your signing deadline. We can provide comments, revised wording or a new agreement. Georgian/English versions and any certified translations are arranged around the intended use.

Turn the commercial agreement into terms that can be used

Begin with the transaction: the deliverable, price, timetable and people responsible. A good contract lets both sides identify when work has been completed, when an invoice can be issued and how a disagreement is resolved. The review should focus first on provisions that affect money, performance and control.

Make bilingual versions agree on the important points

Check names, amounts, dates and defined terms across both versions. Decide which language prevails if there is a difference and whether a receiving institution requires a certified translation. Keep the agreed final version separate from the negotiation drafts.

For software or professional services, describe the work sufficiently to support invoicing and the tax position. A label such as “consultancy” or “development” may be too broad to explain the actual deliverable. The contract, delivery evidence and invoice should describe the same commercial activity.

Use amendments when the relationship changes

A changed price, payment model, delivery date or ownership arrangement should be recorded while the parties agree on it. Update the relevant schedules and identify the provisions that continue. This helps the accounting team follow the final terms and gives both parties a reliable record if a question arises later.

Send us your contract question

Frequently asked questions

What do you need to review a contract?

Send the draft, the parties’ roles, the commercial objective, governing law and any negotiation deadline. Identify the clauses causing concern and whether you need a review, redraft or negotiation support.

Can you prepare a bilingual agreement?

We prepare Georgian and English versions where required. The agreement should identify the prevailing language, and any certified translation or notarisation should be agreed separately.
