HPP Attorneys

What HPP Attorneys does

HPP Attorneys is a Helsinki-based, full-service business law firm founded in 1975 and operating as HPP Asianajotoimisto Oy with 111 employees. The firm delivers legal advisory across 15 practice areas including corporate advisory, mergers and acquisitions, dispute resolution, finance, tax, employment, ESG, EU and competition, environment and natural resources, intellectual property, real estate, restructuring and insolvency, logistics, and technology and data. It serves enterprise clients across roughly 10 industry verticals spanning transport and logistics, private equity and venture capital, mining, pharma and healthcare, industrial and engineering, energy, financial services, and ICT.

The business model is classic professional services: project-based and retainer engagements with corporate clients, priced by matter complexity and senior time, and distributed through direct partner-led relationships, referral networks, analyst ranking visibility (Chambers, Legal 500, WTR 1000, IAM Patent 1000, IFLR1000), and thought-leadership publishing. There is no proprietary technology platform; the technology stack is a law firm operating model. The firm has recently extended its service surface through a joint Cyber Risk Management Service with Silverskin announced 16 June 2026, combining legal advisory with offensive security testing, which is its most material product extension in the input period.

HPP's go-to-market is relationship-driven, anchored by partner-led business development, lateral recruitment of senior lawyers from top Finnish and international firms (Bird & Bird, Hannes Snellman, Krogerus, Dittmar & Indrenius, Merilampi, EIB, Neste, Elisa), and a continuous trainee programme recruiting 30+ students annually. Disclosed mandates (e.g., Verda Cloud EUR 136M financing, Terrafame EUR 465M+ cumulative financing, Finnish Minerals Group EUR 54M Keliber investment, Elementis USD 121M Talc divestment, Accelerate Learning acquisition of Kide Science) indicate engagement on transactions large enough to require senior partner attention.

Regional players

• Schjødt: Leading Norwegian full-service business law firm with offices in Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen, and Stockholm, covering M&A, finance, energy, and dispute resolution.
