Olswang advised Groupe Bertrand, the majority stakeholder in Burger King France, on its acquisition of hamburger restaurant chain Quick from Qualium Investissement, (CDC Groupe), which was announced in September 2015 with the opening of exclusive negotiations.

As Burger King's exclusive franchisee since its return to the French market in 2012, Groupe Bertrand will progressively rebrand most of the Quick restaurants in France as Burger King. This transaction makes Groupe Bertrand the second biggest fast food restaurant group in France. Restaurants located outside of France will remain under the Quick brand.

Olswang France LLP advised Groupe Bertrand/Burger King France. The team was led by Corporate Partner Christophe Gaschin, with support from Partner Jessica Schinkel, Associates Ian Ouaknine, Stanislas Marmion and Patrick Gérard-Boucher (Corporate); Partner Julien Monsenego and Senior Associate Laurent Ragot (Tax); Partner Karine Audouze and Senior Associate Amandine Racé (Employment); Partner Clara Steinitz and Associate Alya Bloum (IP); as well as Brussels Managing Partner Dirk Van Liedekerke and Brussels-based Associate Joëlle Froidmont (Competition).
