AGPC

What AGPC does

AGPC (legal entity Almeida Garret, Pinto de Carvalho, Sociedade de Advogados, SP, RL) is a privately held boutique law and advisory firm headquartered in Lisbon, Portugal, founded in 2016 by co-founders Catarina Almeida Garrett and Filipa Pinto de Carvalho. The firm operates as a one-stop platform assisting foreign individual investors, families, entrepreneurs, and foreign businesses with investing, launching, or relocating operations into Portugal. Service modules span preliminary investment studies, bureaucratic procedure management, ongoing investment optimization, residence permits (Golden Visa, D7), Non-Habitual Residents' tax advisory, real estate investment, startup launch (including a 'Business in a Box' turnkey incorporation), corporate and commercial law, family law and wealth succession, family relocation, healthcare concierge, and impact investing aligned with UN SDGs.

The underlying 'platform' is not a technology product but a coordinated advisory practice: AGPC acts as the single client touchpoint and orchestrates a network of local partners — banks, accountants, investment funds, insurance brokers, real estate brokers, international schools, engineering teams, and healthcare providers — to execute end-to-end engagements. There is no proprietary technology stack, no AI/ML capabilities, and no mobile or web product; delivery is people-based bespoke professional services.

Revenue is generated through professional advisory fees on a per-engagement, project-based model with pricing customized to client needs and complexity. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct relationship-building, a bilingual website, LinkedIn presence, and word-of-mouth referrals; distribution is direct client engagement with no intermediaries. Customer segments are mixed across individual investors, relocating families and retirees, foreign SMEs opening Portuguese branches, and startup founders, with the firm positioned as a flexible alternative to larger Portuguese law firms.
