About

Founded almost 120 years ago, Groupe Casino is now a staple of the French retail market with its businesses in the supermarket industry including recognised brands such as Casino Supermarchés, Monoprix and Franprix. Groupe Casino has over 70,000 employees in France as part of its total employee count of 325,000 worldwide, and its high profile in the sector is reflected by its listing on the NYSE Euronext Paris Stock Exchange and €46.1bn in consolidated sales. Pascal Rivet is the legal director of Groupe Casino, and the legal department he leads is responsible for legal and compliance affairs, aiding the group strategy which is contingent on forays into developing markets with high potential in addition to a continued focus on its domestic market. This business vision combined with strong support from the legal department has put Groupe Casino in an enviable position in the retail space, receiving solid advice not only in practice areas related to the core business, but in others such as licencing and real estate.
