Belarusian Legal and Business Translation for Relocated IT Companies, Entrepreneurs and Belarusians with Matters at Home

Setting up a Georgian entity: LLCs, individual entrepreneurs and IT status

The most frequent Belarusian business file in Georgia is the creation of a Georgian LLC or the registration of an individual entrepreneur, often to hold the contracts of a relocated IT team, to invoice foreign clients or to run a business in Tbilisi or Batumi. Individual founders submit a translated passport; a Belarusian company founding a Georgian subsidiary submits a Georgian translation of its extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs (ЕГР), its charter, the decision of the participants approving the Georgian entity and a power of attorney if a local representative files, apostilled by the Ministry of Justice and notarized in Tbilisi. We draft the Georgian charter bilingually with a parallel Russian column so the founder signs a text they can read, we know the wording the National Agency of Public Registry expects, and we translate the documents that follow - the Revenue Service registration, the choice of small business or IT-related tax statuses (with the applications and supporting documents for the Virtual Zone or International Company status where a company qualifies), and the bank account opening file.

Employment contracts, HR documents and remote work arrangements

Relocated Belarusian companies employ their teams under Georgian employment contracts, engage them as contractors through Georgian individual entrepreneurs, or keep them on contracts with foreign group entities, and each arrangement generates documents in Russian and Georgian: employment contracts compliant with the Georgian Labor Code, contractor agreements, internal regulations and policies, NDAs and IP assignment agreements, relocation and housing policies, termination agreements and the correspondence of employment disputes. We draft or translate these bilingually so that Georgian inspectors and Belarusian employees both read them clearly, and we translate the personal documents of employees for their residence permits under a framework agreement with the employer. Georgian companies hiring Belarusian staff use the same team.

Client and service agreements, IP and the bank compliance file

Belarusian IT companies' revenue comes from service agreements, master services agreements, statements of work and licensing agreements with clients in the EU, the US and elsewhere, mostly in English, and Georgian banks, the Revenue Service and, occasionally, Georgian courts need Georgian versions of them - or of their key terms - for account compliance, tax status applications, VAT questions and disputes. We translate these agreements, the IP assignment and licensing documents behind them, and the bank compliance files - source-of-funds explanations, ownership structures, group charts, client lists and invoices - that Georgian banks require from Belarusian corporate clients under enhanced due diligence, with a legal specialist keeping defined terms consistent and a translator's note where a Georgian bank needs context for a foreign structure. Sanctions-related compliance questions are for lawyers, but we translate the documents lawyers and banks ask for.

Property, shares and powers of attorney in Belarus: what still works from Georgia

Members of the community own apartments, cars, shares and businesses in Belarus, and since 2023 Belarusian law recognizes powers of attorney for the disposal of real estate and vehicles only if certified in Belarus or at a Belarusian consulate, while foreign-notarized powers of attorney for many other matters - obtaining documents, representing before ZAGS, archives and some administrative bodies, handling certain court and inheritance formalities - are still accepted with an apostille. We translate Georgian-notarized powers of attorney into Russian and apostille them where they will work, prepare the Russian text for the Embassy of Belarus in Tbilisi where the act must be certified there, and tell you before you pay for anything whether the transaction you have in mind can be done from Georgia at all. Sales of Belarusian apartments by owners who cannot travel, transfers of shares in Belarusian companies, and the winding up of Belarusian businesses by relocated founders are the matters where this advice matters most.

Court judgments, divorce, inheritance and enforcement

Belarusian court judgments in family, commercial and succession matters are recognized in Georgia through proceedings requiring notarized Georgian translations of the judgment, proof of its entry into force and supporting documents, all apostilled by the Ministry of Justice; Georgian judgments - most often divorce, custody and child support decisions of Belarusian couples now living in Georgia - go the other way for recognition by Belarusian courts, translated into Russian and apostilled, with a Georgian lawyer and Belarusian counsel assessing the route in the absence of a bilateral treaty. Inheritance of Belarusian property by heirs in Georgia and of Georgian property by heirs in Belarus generates death certificates, inheritance certificates and the powers of attorney discussed above. Arbitration and commercial litigation involving relocated companies is translated under procedural deadlines. Litigation files are handled under NDA with restricted access.

Financial statements, tax documents, confidentiality and how projects run

Georgian entities of Belarusian groups report to their owners, banks and the Revenue Service, and Belarusian tax residency questions follow relocated individuals; we translate financial statements, audit reports, tax residency certificates, Georgian tax declarations and Revenue Service certificates for Belarusian authorities, and Belarusian tax and accounting documents for Georgian ones, with accountants on the team reconciling every figure.

Every translator, editor and courier is bound by a non-disclosure agreement, files are encrypted and access is limited to the assigned team, which matters to a community with reasons to be careful about its documents; we sign client-specific NDAs and GDPR-aligned data processing terms for companies serving EU clients. Corporate clients receive a glossary and translation memory from the first project. Projects run in a fixed pattern: fixed quote within the hour, a legal or financial specialist plus a reviewer, questions returned in a single batch, delivery in the original format, and notarization and apostille scheduled in parallel with translation. Framework agreements with monthly invoicing and priority notary slots are available for relocated companies, relocation and legal service providers and law firms serving Belarusian clients.
