Tornike Abashidze is Affiliated Counsel to Natro Legal Associates and a member of the firm's wider legal team, engaged for his exceptional command of i‑Gaming and e‑Gaming law. He currently serves as Head of Commercial Counsel at Spribe, one of the industry's fastest‑growing game developers, where he leads the commercial and regulatory legal function across a global, fast‑moving gaming business.
His expertise sits at the exact intersection the modern gaming sector demands — where commercial strategy, licensing, and multi‑jurisdictional regulatory compliance meet. Over more than four years at Spribe, first as Compliance Manager and now as Head of Commercial Counsel, he has navigated the complex and constantly shifting regulatory landscape that governs online and electronic gaming, advising on market entry, licensing regimes, commercial agreements, and the compliance frameworks that keep a global operator on the right side of the line in every territory it enters.
Tornike's earlier career gave him an unusually broad foundation. He served as a Senior Lawyer at Deloitte and as Head of Legal at Batumi Entertainment Group, and has advised across administrative, commercial, and corporate matters throughout his career. Alongside his practice, he is an invited lecturer at Business and Technology University (BTU) in Tbilisi, where he shares his expertise with the next generation of legal professionals.
He holds a Bachelor of Laws, a Master of Laws (LLM), and a Doctor of Law (JD) in Business Law, all from Tbilisi State University. He works in English, German, Russian, and Georgian — a linguistic range that matches the international character of the matters he handles. For Natro Legal Associates and its clients, Tornike brings specialist, operator‑level insight into one of the firm's core areas of expertise: the law of gaming, in all its commercial and regulatory dimensions.
