France’s second largest banking institution, Groupe BPCE has a multitude of branches, employees and customers requiring timely and accurate legal counsel in order to manage the huge range of banking and finance related legal and regulatory affairs the Group is subject to. With the relevant experience and capability to recognise and deal with these affairs in a comprehensive way, Celine Haye-Kiousis, general counsel of Groupe BPCE, was appointed to her current role in 2016 and also joined the Group’s executive committee at this time.

Evincing the esteem in which she is held by senior business figures, Haye-Kiousis’ counsel is relied upon to navigate the myriad of risks posed by a financial sector that is constantly at the mercy of new regulations and legal requirements imposed in France.
