What Instituto Goiano de Direito - IGD does

Instituto Goiano de Direito (IGD) is a private legal education institution headquartered in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil, operating with approximately 43 employees. It delivers a vertically integrated stack of legal training products to individual learners and practicing professionals, including an undergraduate law degree taught under the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) methodology, 10 in-person postgraduate specializations, 5 online postgraduate programs, OAB bar exam preparation courses, public competition (concurso) exam preparation, specialized MasterClasses, and large-scale events anchored by the Notáveis do Direito conference.

The business operates a multi-channel commercial model built on recurring subscription revenue supplemented by one-time purchases. Most courses (OAB prep, concurso prep, postgraduate tracks) are sold via installment-based subscriptions (e.g., R$72–103/month for OAB prep over 10 installments; R$212–313/month for postgraduates over 18 months), while MasterClasses (R$148–533/month over 6 installments, up to R$3,200) and event tickets (R$290–997) are sold as discrete purchases. Mini-courses start at R$29/month. Postgraduate certificates carry MEC (Ministry of Education) recognition, which confers regulatory legitimacy in the Brazilian education market.

IGD's strategic positioning emphasizes a content ecosystem and event-driven brand: a 1,400+ work content library, a faculty and speaker network of 210+ active legal professionals, and the Notáveis do Direito flagship event (5,200+ participants in its 2026 edition, 35+ supporting companies) function as the institution's primary brand-building and acquisition assets. Revenue is concentrated in a single Brazilian state (Goiás), and there is no disclosed external funding, suggesting self-funded growth.
