Campofrío

About

Multinational food production company Campofrío is headquartered in Madrid and can be highlighted as one of Spain’s biggest recent success stories, having seen a huge recent expansion defying the less than favourable economic environment in the local market. Recommended for their proficiency across a variety of legal issues in different jurisdictions as well as their organisational skills, one nominator explained how the Campofrío legal team covers ‘all kind of key issues internationally and in Spain in a highly cohesive way’. Known for providing ‘first class’ advice to their business from the outset of a matter to the end stages of the process, the leader of the team Marta García Alba is the group’s global counsel; who is described as a ‘highly appreciated team leader with excellent technical abilities’. The team oversees a legal function that has to respond to ‘highly dynamic’ retail sector demands in a global sense, owing to the international operations of Campofrío that now include eight business units and a joint venture that contributed to an annual sales figure of €1.9bn. García provides some detail as to the team’s day-to day responsibilities. ‘We deal with a great variety of issues’, she explains, ‘and our reach covers legal and practical implications in regards of all business fronts – statutory, M&A, all sort of agreements including commercial, procurement, logistics and financing, advertising, IP, all areas of regulation including competition law, data privacy and more. It is a priority for us to help the business explore opportunities and overcome barriers’. García goes on to outline the team’s strong interaction with their business partners: ‘We have worked to create a “legal” culture in the organisation where our business colleagues are conscious that “legal” may help unearth opportunities and that we when we work together as team we are best positioned to deliver outstanding strategy and results. We really want to make a difference to the business we are part of and, as an integral part of it, in the future we hope to feel that we have helped shape the direction of Campofrío’.
