Firm overview

Legelata is a Yerevan-based law firm focusing on banking, finance, tax and corporate transactions, with particular strength in mergers and acquisitions and structuring investments and business operations in Armenia.

The firm advises financial institutions, investors and corporates on a wide range of matters, including M&A transactions, acquisition financing, cross-border deals and tax-efficient structuring.

A significant part of the firm’s work involves assisting clients entering the Armenian market. This includes designing and implementing legal, tax and operational structures aligned with business objectives and local regulatory requirements.

Legelata regularly advises on transactions involving foreign capital and multi-jurisdictional elements, working alongside banks, international organizations and private investors, where tax and structuring considerations play a central role.

The firm’s approach integrates legal, tax and financial perspectives to ensure that transactions are not only compliant, but also efficiently structured and executable in practice.

Financial and corporate
Legelata maintains an established financial and corporate practice in Armenia, advising domestic and international clients across banking and finance, corporate transactions, M&A, restructuring and financial services matters. The firm is particularly active on cross-border mandates, regularly supporting international clients and advisers on transactions requiring Armenian law expertise.

The practice advises on financing arrangements, acquisitions, corporate structuring and restructuring matters, as well as ongoing regulatory and commercial issues. The team has experience working alongside international counsel on multijurisdictional mandates and supporting foreign investors entering or expanding their activities in the Armenian market.

Clients value the firm's practical and commercially focused approach, local market knowledge and ability to coordinate effectively on international matters. Current feedback highlights the team's client-oriented advice, quality of its work product and ability to navigate the Armenian legal and business environment. The practice also receives positive recognition for its multilingual capabilities and understanding of the requirements of international clients and advisers.

Key clients

Bank of Georgia; Wilco LLC; Nordic Star Law Offices; Birch Legal.

I would leave DLA Piper UK out of the key-client list, as with Andersen, because it appears to be referral/instructing counsel rather than the underlying end client.
