Hebrew Legal and Business Translation for Israeli Investors, Companies and Georgian-Jewish Families

Real estate: Batumi, Tbilisi and the investor's file

Israelis are among the most active foreign buyers of Georgian real estate, from single apartments in Batumi's towers to hotel units, land and commercial premises in Tbilisi, and each purchase generates a bilingual file: the sale and purchase agreement or the developer's pre-sale contract, the Public Registry extract, the cadastral plan, the building permit and completion documents, the management and rental pool agreement, the valuation report and proof of funds for the investment residence permit, and the Georgian tax certificates for later resale. We translate all of these into Hebrew for the buyer and their Israeli עורך דין and רואה חשבון, translate the buyer's documents into Georgian for the notary and registry, and provide the interpreter at the signing in Tbilisi or Batumi. Where the buyer signs by ייפוי כוח from Israel, the power of attorney is notarized by an Israeli notary, apostilled by the court and translated and notarized here. Israeli developers building in Batumi use the same team for their construction, sales and management documents.

Registering a Georgian company with Israeli founders

An Israeli חברה בע"מ founding a Georgian subsidiary, branch or representative office submits a Georgian translation of its תדפיס רשם החברות (Registrar of Companies extract), its תקנון (articles of association), the board or shareholder resolution approving the Georgian entity, and an ייפוי כוח if a local representative files; the extract is apostilled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, notarial documents by the court, and all are notarized in Tbilisi. Individual Israeli founders - restaurateurs, real estate managers, tech entrepreneurs - submit a translated passport. We draft the Georgian charter bilingually with a parallel Hebrew column so the founder signs a text they can read, and we know the wording the National Agency of Public Registry expects. After registration, the Georgian Public Registry extract and charter are translated into Hebrew for the parent, its bank and its רואה חשבון.

Contracts between Israeli and Georgian parties

Georgian law permits contracts in any language, but the Georgian version is what a registry or court reads, so cross-border contracts are drafted bilingually, often with English as a third column. We translate sale and purchase agreements for property and equipment, lease agreements for restaurants, shops and apartments, management agreements for rental units, employment contracts for Israeli companies' Georgian staff and contractors, supply and distribution agreements for agritech, irrigation and food products, service agreements for IT outsourcing, shareholder agreements, loan and guarantee agreements, NDAs and franchise agreements for Israeli brands opening in Tbilisi. The translator is a legal specialist who keeps defined terms and numbering consistent and flags where an Israeli concept - the Israeli company law's director duties, ערבות guarantees, the role of the Rabbinical courts in family matters that touch property - needs a lawyer's decision on the Georgian equivalent rather than a translator's guess.

Inheritance, property restitution and Georgian-Jewish family files

This is the legal work most specific to the Hebrew-Georgian pair. Israelis of Georgian origin inherit apartments, houses and land in Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Oni and Akhaltsikhe from relatives who stayed, reclaim property left behind in the 1970s and 1990s where the law allows, and settle estates divided between Israel and Georgia. These files require death certificates, chains of birth and marriage certificates proving kinship - often Soviet-era documents in Georgian and Russian - Israeli צווי ירושה and צווי קיום צוואה (inheritance and probate orders) from the Registrar of Inheritance or the family court, wills, Georgian notarial certificates of inheritance, court decisions establishing legal facts, and Public Registry and archive extracts, translated, notarized and apostilled for the court or notary on the other side. Our notary at Agmashenebeli 117 handles Georgian inheritance applications with a Hebrew interpreter present or by ייפוי כוח from Israel, and our Georgian-Israeli translators read the old documents that these files depend on.

Court judgments, arbitration and enforcement

Israeli judgments in family, commercial and succession matters are recognized and enforced in Georgia through proceedings requiring notarized Georgian translations of the פסק דין, the certificate of finality and supporting documents, all apostilled by the court. Georgian judgments and notarized loan deeds go the other way for recognition and enforcement through the Israeli courts and the הוצאה לפועל (enforcement agency), translated into Hebrew with Israeli notarial certification and apostilled. Disputes between Israeli buyers and Georgian developers over Batumi apartments - delays, defects, rental pool returns - are the most frequent category, followed by inheritance disputes and mixed-marriage family matters; Rabbinical court documents that touch property or custody are translated alongside civil ones. Arbitration under the Israeli Institute of Commercial Arbitration, the ICC or the Georgian International Arbitration Centre produces bilingual submissions, witness statements and awards which we translate under procedural deadlines. Litigation files are handled under NDA with restricted access.

Financial statements, tax documents, confidentiality and how projects run

Georgian subsidiaries of Israeli groups report to head office under Israeli GAAP and IFRS, and Israeli investors present accounts to Georgian banks and the Revenue Service. We translate דוחות כספיים (financial statements), דוחות רואה חשבון (audit reports), אישורי תושבות for treaty relief under the Israel-Georgia double taxation agreement, VAT documents, transfer pricing files and bank confirmation letters, with accountants on the team reconciling every figure. Israeli owners of Georgian rental property frequently need Georgian tax certificates and income statements translated into Hebrew for the Israeli Tax Authority.

Every translator, editor and courier is bound by a non-disclosure agreement, files are encrypted and access is limited to the assigned team; we sign client-specific NDAs and data processing terms compliant with Israel's Privacy Protection Law for Israeli clients. Corporate clients get a glossary and translation memory from their first project. A project runs 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 Batumi developers selling to Israeli buyers, Israeli companies, law firms and the Israel-Georgia Chamber of Commerce's members.
