Andersen Marks a New Chapter in Georgia: Full-Service Advisory Firm Launch and Nationwide Expansion

Andersen, the globally recognized professional services brand, is entering a transformative phase in the Georgian market, launching a comprehensive suite of services that positions the firm as a premier multidisciplinary advisory in the country. While Andersen has maintained a presence in Georgia for several years, it previously focused primarily on tax and accounting services, alongside select advisory capabilities. Now, the firm has expanded its offerings to include legal, tax, accounting, finance, business advisory, HR and people advisory, private client services, compliance, public policy, and advocacy — marking a significant milestone in its regional growth strategy.

“This is not just an expansion of services — it is a redefinition of what an advisory firm can be in Georgia,” said George Svanadze, Senior Partner and Head of Dispute Resolution at Andersen in Georgia. “We are not only responding to market needs. We are setting new standards.”

This expansion also signifies a key moment for the local legal sector: Andersen in Georgia now carries the legacy of MG Law, one of the country’s most prestigious and top-ranked law firms. MG Law, renowned for its high standards and consistent recognition by global legal directories such as Chambers & Partners and Legal 500, becomes part of Andersen’s powerful global ecosystem.

“The integration of MG Law into Andersen is not just a change in name — it’s the continuation of a legacy with global ambition,” noted Tamar Jikia, Partner at Andersen in Georgia. “We are building on a foundation of excellence and combining it with Andersen’s international reach to create something truly unique for Georgia.”


A Global Powerhouse with Local Expertise

Andersen Global, the umbrella association under which Andersen in Georgia operates, was founded in 2013 with the vision of delivering a seamless, borderless model of professional services. It is composed of independent member firms across more than 170 countries, uniting over 20,000 professionals and more than 2,000 global partners. The firm’s unique global structure empowers local teams in Georgia to draw on international resources and insights, offering clients world-class service grounded in local expertise.

As part of this global network, Andersen in Georgia is uniquely equipped to deliver holistic solutions that address complex client needs — from multinational corporations to high-net-worth individuals and local enterprises.


A Firm of the Nation — with a Global Footprint

In a bold move to redefine the advisory landscape in Georgia, Andersen is expanding beyond the capital. With new offices opening in Kutaisi and Batumi (and soon in Telavi), it becomes the first advisory firm in Georgia to establish a multi-city presence. This strategic expansion reflects Andersen’s commitment to being not just a global firm operating in Georgia, but a firm of the nation — deeply rooted in the country’s regions, responsive to local demands, and accessible to clients nationwide.

“Our goal is to become the trusted advisor for clients across Georgia, from Tbilisi to Batumi to Kutaisi,” said Archil Giorgadze, Managing Partner at Andersen in Georgia. “We are proud to be the first consulting firm in Georgia to establish a real nationwide presence.”

The firm’s growth is also reflected internally, as it welcomes new partners and team members to support its broadened service lines and growing client base. “We’re growing not just in scope, but in talent,” emphasized Nicola Mariani, Chairman of Andersen in Georgia. “By bringing in new partners and expanding our teams, we’re making sure our clients have access to the very best minds in every field.”


Looking Ahead

With the integration of MG Law’s legacy, the deepening of service offerings, and the backing of Andersen Global’s extensive network, Andersen in Georgia is set to become a powerhouse in professional services — delivering unmatched value through cross-disciplinary expertise, international reach, and a commitment to local impact.

“This expansion marks a turning point,” George Svanadze concluded. “For the first time, businesses and individuals in Georgia will have access to a firm that delivers end-to-end professional services under one roof — with the added advantage of global best practices.”

As Georgia continues to evolve as a regional hub for business and investment, Andersen stands ready to support this trajectory — providing the guidance, insight, and integrity that are the hallmarks of the Andersen name.
