About BLC
BLC was founded in 2000 by Aleksandre Bolkvadze. According to the firm, in February 2026 he moved from day-to-day legal practice to the position of Chairman of the Executive Board. The firm’s Georgian website names Keti Kvartskhava as managing partner.
According to the company, BLC is one of Georgia’s leading law firms, offering clients practical, commercially minded and results-oriented legal solutions. The firm writes that it combines knowledge of Georgian law with international standards and particularly highlights cross-border and heavily regulated matters.
As the firm describes it, its clients are companies, investors, financial institutions, international organizations and public sector agencies operating in Georgia and the region. The head office is in Tbilisi, with branches in Batumi and in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan. The Legal 500 tables list the firm as BLC Law Office LLC.
Rankings: The Legal 500 and Chambers 2026
In The Legal 500 EMEA 2026, BLC is in the first group (Tier 1) in all four Georgia tables: banking and finance; commercial and corporate law, mergers and acquisitions (M&A); dispute resolution; and real estate, construction and projects. In Chambers Europe 2026 and Chambers Global 2026, the firm is in the first group (Band 1) of the General Business Law table, and according to the Chambers page, it has been ranked in Georgia for 20 years.
The publishers set the groups through their own research, which, they say, is based on submissions from the firms and client interviews. In Aviaspace’s selection, BLC, BGI Legal and Dentons Georgia share first place, because all three are in the top group in all six tables. BLC is second on the list only because of an additional criterion: in the top individual categories of Chambers Europe 2026, the firm’s lawyers hold three positions.
In the Chambers Europe 2026 individual table for General Business Law, Aleksandre Bolkvadze is in the Senior Statespeople category, Tamta Ivanishvili in the first group, Keti Kvartskhava in the second, Giorgi Batlidze in the third and Rusa Chkuaseli in the Up and Coming category. In dispute resolution, Keti Kvartskhava is in the first group, and Giorgi Batlidze and Tamta Ivanishvili are in the third. In The Legal 500 EMEA 2026’s dispute resolution table, Keti Kvartskhava is in the Hall of Fame.
The Chambers review notes the firm’s outstanding experience in the energy sector, as well as major infrastructure projects, capital markets (including Eurobond issues) and international arbitration related to foreign investment.
