Linklaters and DLA have advised online travel agency Ebookers on its £55m acquisition of Travelbag – the long-haul travel company’s largest ever acquisition which gives it a substantial high street presence.

Helen O’Byrne, Ebookers’ general counsel and company secretary, said Linklaters did the lion’s share of the work and that the firm had advised the company since its IPO and listing in the US and UK.
