Grupo La Comer

About

Grupo La Comer is a domestic Mexican Supermarket chain with a long history. The firm has its roots in the 1930s, when it originally began operation as a company specialising in fabrics as Comercial Mexicana. By the 1960s, the chain was a fully branded supermarket, and grew massively over the next 50 years, with around 170 stores under operation by 2006, making it a rival to multinational giant Walmart. In 2016, many stores belonging to Comercial Mexicana were sold off, with the remainder taken over by Grupo La Comer. This agreement, involving complex negotiations and detailed appraisals of the assets and their values, provided a significant challenge to Grupo La Comer’s legal team, taking up a large portion of its workload. Joaquin Solis Rivera, corporate director of labour and legal affairs, has headed the legal team at La Comer since his transfer from Comercial Mexicana in 2015. His extensive knowledge of Comercial Mexicana and its transformation during his six year tenure provides him with unparalleled viewpoint to coordinate the legal team’s efforts as a business partner to the company.
