About

Groupe Lactalis’ leading position in the global dairy market makes for a multibillion-dollar revenue stream annually and a wealth of strategic initiatives for its highly capable legal team to support. In December 2018, for instance, it worked on the buying out of Italian firm Parmalat by increasing its stake in the company to the tune of €326.5m. In late 2017, also, it completed the purchase of American yoghurt maker Stonyfield Farm from Danone for US$875m. Supporting these global operations is a highly skilled legal arranged across a number of divisions based on subject matter and business lines. The function came in for particular praise from nominators for its excellent performance on a number of projects.
