Astrid Paavola

Researcher

As an Executive Search Associate in H&P’s Legal practice, Astrid works alongside partners and associates on senior search assignments throughout the Benelux market, with a focus on banking and finance, and arbitration and litigation.

Based in London, Astrid maps markets, researches candidates and opens early conversations with exceptional lawyers on behalf of leading international firms. Previous roles in business development and real estate taught her to earn trust quickly, listen closely and guide people through decisions that matter to them.

Raised in Finland and having lived in four countries, Astrid moves easily between cultures and connects naturally with clients and candidates across borders. She takes care to understand what each firm needs and what each candidate wants from their next career move.

Outside of work Astrid enjoys London’s vibrant art and culture scene and frequently visits the Finnish countryside.
