About

The legal department at Europris, Norway’s largest discount variety retailer by sales, is considered to be a highly flexible and talented function. The team has recently structured and completed the acquisition of over 80 franchise stores, and provide in-depth expertise in a wide variation of fields. Legal counsel Petter Chr Wilskow states that ‘it is very important to have as few legal issues or litigation as possible, in order to ensure that management can be able to concentrate on ongoing business’. The legal department provided a significant contribution during the transformation of Europris from a smaller privately-owned organisation to a listed company with a 2015 turnover exceeding NOK 5bn, a change which was completed in June last year. The team additionally played an important role during the establishment of a Europris sourcing office in Shanghai, China. This joint venture with Finnish company Tokmanni required a comprehensive understanding of foreign markets; an attribute the group has received vast recognition for.
