Last Wednesday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Pierre-Alexandre Billiet, CEO of Gondola — a leading platform for professionals in the consumer goods and retail sector — and Silvie Vanhout, Managing Partner of Gondola Academy, for an exclusive training session regarding the Belgian retail market.

Since retail is a key focus area at 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭, we aim to not only stay sharp legally, but also to remain connected to the broader economic and strategic context in which our clients operate.

🛒 During this session, Pierre-Alexandre and Silvie shared valuable insights into the historical and future evolution of the retail landscape, including:
🔹 Trends in market shares, revenue, store counts and franchising in the Belgian food retail market
🔹 The impact of evolving laws and regulations including ESG/sustainability, B2B regulation, e-commerce, greenwashing, and consumer law
🔹 How these evolutions affect competitiveness within the retail sector

💡 This session was a powerful reminder of how legal expertise and sector-specific knowledge go hand-in-hand in delivering real value to our clients.

Thank you, Pierre-Alexandre and Silvie, for this interesting session, and to our 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭 training team for hosting these valuable workshops.
