About Tamar Abramidze

Tamar Abramidze is a Georgian attorney with a unique combination of international law expertise and deep specialization in reproductive medicine and surrogacy law. As Head of Legal Department at LLC «GS CONSULTING» in Tbilisi, Georgia, she manages complex cross-border legal matters involving partners in Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, and the United States, while simultaneously providing specialized legal consultation in surrogacy, reproductive medicine, and medical services regulation.

With a Master of Laws in Comparative Private and International Law and international academic experience including Erasmus+ exchange at Saarland University, Germany, and summer training at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Tamar brings a sophisticated understanding of international legal frameworks to reproductive law practice. Her research on cryptocurrencies in international trade and WTO regulations demonstrates her analytical rigor and forward-thinking approach to emerging legal issues.

Tamar’s professional journey reflects a consistent commitment to human rights, ethical governance, and patient advocacy. Beginning her career with the Georgian Democracy Initiative researching hate speech and ethical norms, she transitioned into medical and reproductive law, where she has spent over five years providing legal consultation to reproductive clinics, surrogacy programs, and international patients navigating Georgia’s regulatory landscape.

Her multilingual capabilities, fluent in English with professional proficiency in Russian, conversational German, and working knowledge of Chinese, enable her to serve a truly international client base. Her experience spans regulatory compliance in reproductive medicine, drafting and reviewing medical service contracts, managing surrogacy documentation for the Ministry of Justice, and coordinating cross-border legal matters across multiple jurisdictions.

What distinguishes Tamar is her combination of rigorous legal training, competitive moot court success (including wins in legal ethics, human trafficking law, and human rights competitions), and genuine commitment to patient rights and ethical medical practice. She understands that reproductive law is not merely about contracts and compliance – it’s about helping families navigate some of life’s most meaningful and vulnerable moments with legal security and peace of mind.

Approach / Philosophy

Tamar’s approach to legal practice is grounded in three core principles developed throughout her diverse legal career:

Human Rights Foundation: Beginning her career researching hate speech and ethical governance, Tamar approaches every legal matter, from surrogacy contracts to corporate agreements, through a human rights lens. She believes legal frameworks must protect the dignity, autonomy, and rights of all parties, particularly in vulnerable contexts like reproductive medicine.

Rigorous Legal Analysis with Practical Application: Her academic excellence (including international study in Germany) and competitive success in multiple moot court competitions reflect her commitment to legal rigor. However, Tamar excels at translating complex legal frameworks into practical, actionable guidance that clients can understand and implement confidently.

Cross-Cultural Legal Intelligence: With professional experience spanning Georgia, Ukraine, Germany, and coordination with partners in the Americas, Tamar understands that effective international legal practice requires more than multilingual capability – it demands cultural sensitivity, awareness of different legal traditions, and ability to bridge jurisdictional differences seamlessly.

Patient-Centered Medical Law: Through her extensive work in medical clinics and reproductive medicine facilities, Tamar has developed deep appreciation for the emotional and personal dimensions of medical and reproductive law. She recognizes that behind every surrogacy agreement or medical contract is a family’s hope, and she handles these matters with appropriate gravity and compassion.

Proactive Compliance and Risk Management: Rather than reactive problem-solving, Tamar emphasizes proactive regulatory compliance and risk assessment. She helps clients structure their operations, agreements, and documentation to prevent legal issues before they arise, providing peace of mind and operational stability.
