The firm emphasizes a re-engineered, lean law firm structure combining big-law experience with personalized service, transparency on cost estimates, and pragmatic solutions over marketing rhetoric. Privately held and founder-led, with no parent company, no funding rounds, and no institutional backing disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Garrigues: Largest Iberian law firm with a substantial private client and tax practice serving HNW individuals and family offices. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for the same advisory mandates across tax residency, wealth structuring, and estate planning in the Iberian market.
• Pérez-Llorca: Iberian law firm with a private wealth and tax practice covering Spain and Portugal. Comparable as a regional incumbent offering adjacent residency, tax, and family-office advisory services to the same internationally mobile HNW segment.
• PLMJ: Leading Portuguese full-service law firm with established private client, tax, and immigration practices. Comparable as a domestic incumbent offering the same NHR, Golden Visa, and trust services Kore specializes in, but with substantially greater resourcing and brand reach.
• Uría Menéndez: Major Iberian law firm with a private client and tax practice serving HNW families and family offices in Portugal and Spain. Comparable because it captures the same cross-border Iberian HNW advisory demand with multi-office capacity that Kore cannot independently match.
• Cuatrecasas: Large Iberian law firm with a private client and tax practice serving HNW families, family offices, and entrepreneurs across Spain and Portugal. Comparable as a broader incumbent offering overlapping private wealth, residency, and tax services, but with a multi-jurisdictional footprint and large team that Kore does not match.
• Morais Leitão: Top-tier Portuguese law firm with a dedicated private clients practice covering tax, trusts, family governance, and wealth structuring. Comparable because it serves the same HNW/entrepreneur segment in Portugal with broader institutional capacity, posing a direct upscale competitor.

Direct peers

• Global Citizen Solutions: Investment migration consultancy focused on Golden Visa and residency-by-investment programs across Europe, including Portugal. Comparable because it competes for the same HNW relocator cohort through content-led acquisition and offers complementary residency and tax structuring services.
• Henley & Partners: Global investment migration advisory firm that advises HNW clients on residency- and citizenship-by-investment programs including Portugal's Golden Visa. Comparable because it targets the same HNW/entrepreneur client segment seeking Portuguese residency and routes inbound demand through content marketing and country-specific guides.
• Blevins Franks: Specialist cross-border tax and wealth advisory firm serving expatriates in Portugal and Spain. Comparable because it combines tax residency planning, trust/estate structuring, and investment advisory for internationally mobile HNW clients in the same Iberian corridor Kore targets.

Others

• PwC Legal Portugal: Big-four legal and tax practice in Portugal serving HNW clients on residency, tax compliance, and cross-border structuring. Comparable because it offers overlapping NHR and cross-border tax advisory services, and functions as an ecosystem referral source for boutique firms like Kore on mandates requiring multidisciplinary delivery.
