BCLP advised Carrefour on the proposed sale of Carrefour Romania based on an Enterprise Value of €823 million
The international law firm, BCLP acted as legal counsel to Carrefour in connection with its exclusive negotiations with Paval Holding for the proposed divestment of all Carrefour Group activities in Romania. The transaction is based on an enterprise value of €823 million and is part of Carrefour’s strategic portfolio review launched in early 2025. Completion is expected in the second half of 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals.
Carrefour Romania operates a retail network of 478 stores, including 55 hypermarkets, 191 supermarkets, 202 convenience stores, and 30 discount stores. In 2024, the business generated €3.2 billion in gross sales, representing approximately 3% of Carrefour Group’s total sales. Paval Holding, the investment vehicle of the Paval family—owners of Dedeman, Romania’s leading home improvement retailer—intends to acquire all Carrefour operations in the country.
The BCLP transaction team was led by Jinal Shah (UK Office Managing Partner, M&A & Corporate Finance) and Marie Johnson (Partner and Co-Head of Consumer & Retail Products), with support from a multidisciplinary, cross-office team. Romanian law advice was provided by Nestor Nestor Diculescu Kingston Petersen (NNDKP), led by Corina Dumitru (Corporate M&A) and Lavinia Ionita-Rasmussen (Real Estate and Construction).
