Gide Loyrette Nouel and Latham & Watkins are among a line-up of firms to have advised on a deal that has seen French retail giant Casino take control of rival supermarket chain Monoprix.

Last July, Casino and French department store Galeries Lafayette ended a dispute over their joint ownership of  Monoprix, which saw Lafayette agree to give up its 50% stake to Casino for €1.175bn (£1bn).
