    About AGPC - Almeida Garrett, Pinto de Carvalho, Sociedade de Advogados

    Editorial summary

    AGPC is a Portuguese Bar-registered Lisbon law practice for international clients needing immigration, tax, corporate, real-estate and relocation support. Its current public office is Avenida Sidónio Pais; an older Rua da Artilharia address remains in the society register. Catarina Almeida Garrett is active under Portuguese Bar number 7130P, while co-founder Filipa Pinto de Carvalho is currently listed inactive and is not presented as a practising lawyer. Current Golden Visa and IFICI boundaries replace the site's stale property-route and classic-NHR wording.

    AGPC is the operating brand of Almeida Garrett, Pinto de Carvalho, Sociedade de Advogados, SP, RL, a Lisbon law society listed by the Portuguese Bar Association under registration 3/21. The public AGPC platform dates to 2016, while the regulator records the legal society's constitution on 17 February 2021. The firm's first-party privacy policy publishes Portuguese legal entity number 515967521. The current public office is Avenida Sidónio Pais 10, 5th floor, Lisbon. AGPC's website footer, contact page, exact Google listing and co-founder Catarina Almeida Garrett's current Bar record all support that address. The Bar society row and privacy body retain the former Rua da Artilharia office; it is a registry or legacy address rather than a second active client location. AGPC's current services cover immigration, tax, banking and finance, corporate and commercial contracts, startups, employment, real estate, family wealth and succession, impact investment, relocation and related business support. For Golden Visa work, current Portuguese law no longer permits a new real-estate purchase or passive capital transfer as a qualifying ARI investment. Current routes include qualifying fund, research, cultural-support, job-creation and company-capitalisation categories, each subject to its own statutory requirements. The firm's website still refers to the classic Non-Habitual Resident regime. That regime closed to new arrivals on 1 January 2024, subject to transitional grandfathering. IFICI is a narrower successor for specified scientific and innovation activities, not a general continuation of NHR. Property advice remains a valid separate legal service, but it must not be presented as a current property-Golden-Visa route. The official site names co-founders Catarina Almeida Garrett and Filipa Pinto de Carvalho. Catarina is active in the Portuguese Bar under 7130P and has a substantial, credential-checked directory profile. Filipa is currently listed inactive under 48751L; she remains relevant business leadership but is not presented as a currently practising lawyer and has no lawyer route. The exact Google operating listing matches the current office and official website and showed 5.0 out of 5 from three reviews on 12 August 2026. That small dated platform aggregate is not a success rate or outcome guarantee. No exact-domain Trustpilot result was found in the checked indexed search, so no Trustpilot score is assigned.
