Giorgi Khitarishvili

I’m a Legal Operations and Transportation Compliance Manager with 4+ years of experience in contract management, regulatory compliance, and dispute resolution. I specialize in FMCSA/DOT regulations and US trucking operations, with a proven ability to run legal and compliance functions fully remotely.

I build compliance systems from the ground up—standardizing contract templates, digitizing onboarding and documentation workflows, and establishing repeatable processes for multi-carrier fleets. I’ve led compliance for 70 vehicles, 70 trailers, and 40 drivers across multiple carriers, including USDOT registration, insurance procurement, and full FMCSA regulatory setup.

My results are measurable: I reduced open claims from 34% to 0.53% across a fleet of 70 vehicles, and recovered approximately $150,000 from disputes over two years. I also delivered $217,225 in company savings through court proceedings, insurance negotiations, and in-house dispute resolution, including dismissing a $36,000 federal court penalty at the first pre-trial hearing.

In prior roles, I served as sole in-house counsel for a multi-location restaurant chain, handling contracts, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and court representation. Today, I continue to support legal and compliance needs through independent consulting and legal advisory work, including cybersecurity training compliance.
