About me
With 8+ years of experience advising top financial institutions, I specialise in technology law, financial regulation and international contract law. My journey has taken me from the National Bank of Georgia, where I led complex financial transactions, to a Big 4 consulting firm, ensuring regulatory compliance for top-tier clients. I have a strong background in IT & Fintech Regulations, SaaS and Turnkey projects, and Cross-Border Transactions. My expertise extends to Financial & Commercial Law, ISDA & Financial Transactions, and Banking & Payment Systems. I am also well-versed in Corporate Advisory, providing legal support in various capacities. I am currently preparing for the SQE2 exam to qualify as a Solicitor in England and Wales, further enhancing my qualifications in the legal field.
