Efficient dispute resolution through mediation in Georgia strengthens transparency and predictability in the business environment, helping attract investment and ensuring U.S. companies can compete on a fair and reliable playing field. 

On September 19-21, CLDP, in partnership with Mediators Association of Georgia (MAG), conducted the First Annual Mediation Summer School for 35 Georgian lawyers. This program represents the first step in CLDP and MAG’s emerging partnership in the pursuit of expanding the use and effectiveness of mediation as a first step in resolving commercial disputes in Georgia. Training sessions focused on the technical provisions of Georgia’s 2019 Law on Mediation, effective representation by counsel in a commercial mediation process, enforcement of a mediation settlement agreement, and anticipated changes to the regulatory framework in Georgia.
