It has been a meteoric rise to the top of the technology, media and telecoms (TMT) tree for Sanjay Lobo, the 31-year-old legal director of internet holiday booking site lastminute.com. Lobo qualified at Olswang in 2001 and within a year was the senior Emea solicitor for US travel company Sabre Holdings. Following Sabre's takeover of lastminute.com in 2005, Lobo found himself in the top job of one of Europe's largest dotcoms aged just 29.

Since then he has been tasked with handling the integration of lastminute.com and its subsidiaries (which number more than a dozen) into the Sabre fold. At the same time he has been working on growing the legal department and bringing further work in-house. It has certainly been no holiday.
