Not every dispute needs a courtroom. We also assess negotiations, mediation and arbitration as possible ways to resolve conflicts.

For foreign nationals

Immigration decisions can be challenged - depending on the grounds

A refusal or adverse decision may affect your ability to enter, remain in or return to Georgia. The available remedies depend on the type and legal basis of the decision.

Discuss an immigration matter ↗
  • Entry refusalAssessment of a refusal at the Georgian border and the legal avenues potentially available.
  • Visa refusalReview of the decision, applicable appeal restrictions and supporting evidence.
  • Residence permit refusalChallenges involving residence permit applications or extensions, where legally available.
  • Expulsion-related mattersReview of decisions and available protective steps based on the individual situation.
Important: Not all decisions are appealable. Challenging a refusal does not necessarily suspend removal or secure a right to stay. The legal position must be assessed individually.

Beyond litigation

The right strategy may start outside court

We review the dispute, available evidence and practical enforceability before recommending a course of action.

01 / Negotiations

Seek a practical resolution

Engagement with the opposing party to explore a settlement before or alongside proceedings.

02 / Mediation & arbitration

Consider alternative procedures

Assessment of whether mediation or arbitration is suitable for the dispute and the relevant agreements.

03 / Court representation

Present and defend your position

Preparation of procedural documents, evidence and representation in court where litigation is appropriate.

Common questions

Questions about legal disputes in Georgia

The correct steps depend on the documents, procedural stage and the type of dispute.

Ask our team ↗
Can a foreigner bring a case before a Georgian court?

Foreign individuals may seek legal protection through Georgian procedures where the court has jurisdiction and the applicable legal conditions are met. The appropriate route depends on the claim.

Can Just Advisors represent me if I am not in Georgia?

Depending on the matter, representation can be arranged using a properly prepared power of attorney. We assess the documents and any requirements for personal participation.

Can I appeal a refusal of entry or a residence permit?

There are legal procedures for challenging certain decisions, but the route and available rights depend on the decision and its grounds. Some refusals are not appealable, and an appeal does not necessarily suspend enforcement.

Does every dispute have to go to court?

No. Negotiation, mediation or arbitration may be appropriate in some cases. We assess the legal and practical options before choosing a strategy.

What documents should I share first?

Usually the disputed decision, contract, relevant correspondence and available supporting evidence. We identify the appropriate checklist after learning about your case.

Can you assist with enforcement of a court decision?

Yes. We provide assistance with enforcement matters, including recognition and enforcement of foreign court decisions in Georgia where the legal requirements are satisfied.

How is the cost of representation determined?

The fee depends on the dispute, its procedural stage and the agreed scope of legal work. We discuss the scope and service terms before proceeding.
