Turkish Legal and Business Translation for Turkish Companies and Investors in Georgia

Registering a Georgian company or branch with Turkish founders

A Turkish anonim şirket or limited şirket founding a Georgian subsidiary, branch or representative office submits a Georgian translation of its ticaret sicil gazetesi announcements, faaliyet belgesi from the chamber of commerce, ana sözleşme, imza sirküleri, and the yönetim kurulu or genel kurul decision approving the Georgian entity, plus a vekaletname if a local representative files. All must be apostilled - administrative documents by the kaymakamlık, the noter-issued imza sirküleri and vekaletname by the adliye - and notarized in Tbilisi. Individual Turkish founders submit a translated passport or kimlik. We draft the Georgian charter bilingually with a parallel Turkish column, and we know the wording the National Agency of Public Registry expects for sermaye, müdür and adres. After registration, the Georgian Public Registry extract and charter are translated into Turkish for the parent, its Turkish bank and its mali müşavir.

Construction, EPC and subcontract agreements

Turkish contractors hold a large share of Georgian road, rail, hydropower, pipeline and hotel construction, working for the Roads Department, the Municipal Development Fund, private developers and international lenders. The contracts - FIDIC-based EPC agreements, subcontracts with Georgian firms, supply agreements, site lease agreements, employment contracts for Turkish and Georgian staff, performance and advance payment guarantees - exist in English, Turkish and Georgian, and the Georgian version is what a Georgian court or registry reads. We translate these with legal and engineering specialists working together, keeping defined terms, clause numbering and technical schedules consistent across all three languages, and flagging where a Turkish law concept - the role of the şantiye şefi, certain kefalet arrangements, Turkish public procurement terms carried into Georgian contracts - needs a lawyer's decision on the Georgian equivalent.

Batumi property: tapu, sale agreements and investment residence permits

Turkish citizens are the largest group of foreign property buyers in Batumi, and each purchase generates a bilingual file: the sale and purchase agreement or the developer's ön satış sözleşmesi, the Public Registry extract (the Georgian equivalent of the tapu), the cadastral plan, the building permit and completion documents, the management agreement for rental apartments, and for buyers seeking an investment residence permit, the valuation report and proof of funds. We translate all of these into Turkish for the buyer and their Turkish lawyer or bank, translate the Turkish buyer's documents into Georgian for the notary and registry, and provide the interpreter at the signing. For Turkish investors selling Batumi property, we translate the Georgian sale documents and tax certificates into Turkish for the Turkish tax authority.

Court decisions, arbitration and enforcement

Disputes between Turkish and Georgian parties - construction claims, subcontractor payment disputes, property disputes in Batumi, labor claims, debt recovery, and family and inheritance matters in mixed marriages - produce judgments that must cross the border. Turkish court decisions and ilam are recognized and enforced in Georgia through proceedings requiring notarized Georgian translations of the decision, the kesinleşme şerhi and supporting documents, all apostilled by the adliye. Georgian judgments and notarized loan deeds go the other way for tenfiz (enforcement) in Turkish courts, translated into Turkish, apostilled and re-certified by a yeminli tercüman. Arbitration under the Istanbul Arbitration Centre (ISTAC), the ICC or the Georgian International Arbitration Centre produces bilingual submissions, witness statements, expert reports and awards which we translate under procedural deadlines. Litigation files are handled under NDA with restricted access.

Financial statements, tax, customs and trade documents

Georgian subsidiaries of Turkish groups report to head office under Turkish accounting standards (TMS/TFRS) and IFRS, and Turkish investors present accounts to Georgian banks and the Revenue Service. We translate bilanço and gelir tablosu, bağımsız denetim raporları, vergi levhası and mükellefiyet belgesi, mukimlik belgesi for treaty relief under the Turkey-Georgia double taxation agreement, KDV documents and transfer pricing files, with accountants on the team reconciling every figure. Trade through Sarpi and Poti generates customs paperwork in volume: gümrük beyannamesi, menşe şahadetnamesi, A.TR and EUR.1 certificates, fatura, çeki listesi, CMR consignment notes, conformity certificates and TSE documents, translated for the Revenue Service customs department, Turkish customs and freight forwarders on both sides. Our logistics desk turns these around within hours with bulk rates for regular traders.

Confidentiality, terminology and how corporate projects run

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 for M&A, tender and litigation work, and KVKK-compliant data processing terms for Turkish clients. Corporate clients receive a glossary and translation memory from the first project, so defined terms stay consistent across years of contracts and amendments and repeated text is not billed twice. Projects run in a fixed pattern: fixed quote within the hour, a legal or financial specialist plus a reviewer assigned by a project manager, questions returned to you in a single batch, delivery in the original format with tracked changes on request, and notarization and apostille scheduled in parallel with translation. Framework agreements with monthly invoicing and priority notary slots are available for Turkish contractors, the Turkish-Georgian business associations' member companies, law firms and mali müşavir practices serving Turkish clients.
