”HPP is rightly regarded as the leading firm in Finland in transport and energy and with my background in those areas it was a natural choice for me to develop a client base throughout the key jurisdictions in those industries. I look forward to continuing to work with those Nordic and European law firms I got to know during my time in-house and to continuing to grow HPP’s excellent reputation in these sectors”, Gahmberg commented.

Markus Einiö, HPP’s Managing Director commented: “In a time of increasing change in the Finnish legal market, HPP has grown through hard work and a focus on continuing to serve our Finnish clients to the highest standard and increasing our brand recognition internationally. Andrew’s partnership reflects not only the high quality of his work for HPP’s clients but also our increased focus on developing our international client and law firm relationships.”

Markus Einiö, HPP’s Managing Director commented: “In a time of increasing instability in the Finnish legal market, HPP has grown through hard work and a focus on continuing to serve our clients to the highest standard and increasing our brand recognition domestically and internationally”.
