Linklaters has closed two acquisitions valued at a total of £810m for Vodafone, with the magic circle firm likely to be kept busy with a stream of future acquisitions for its key telecoms client.

The Linklaters team, led by corporate partner Clodagh Hayes, advised the telecoms operator on its £463m acquisition of the 38.6% it did not already hold in Portuguese operator Vodafone Telecel Comunicacoes Pessoais.
