Veteran Attorney Tapped as General Counsel for Travel Acquisitions Group
(Vocus) February 13, 2009 -- Today, Eden Prairie (MN)-based Travel Acquisitions Group (TAG) is announcing it has tapped veteran attorney Robert Brill as its General Counsel. Brill joined TAG on January 21, 2009. Brill reports directly to TAG CEO Barry Liben and is operating from TAG's Eden Prairie (MN) headquarters.
"We are not only pleased that Travel Acquisitions Group has been able to attract such a respected, high caliber attorney, but we're confident that Bob Brill's rich background provides him with enormous insights into our organization from day one," stated TAG CEO Barry Liben. "In turn, that will benefit TAG tremendously as we look toward further growth and acquisitions."
As a graduate of Yale Law School, Brill brings over 30 years of legal expertise to Travel Acquisitions Group. Most recently, he served as General Counsel for Minneapolis-based MotivAction, LLC; however, Brill previously served as Vice President - Law for Carlson Companies, Inc., the former parent company to TAG's earlier incarnation as Carlson Leisure Group. Prior to Carlson, Brill served as counsel to General Mills and other clients via his own private practice.
With close to $7 billion in annual sales from its wholly-owned and franchised operations, Travel Acquisitions Group has quickly become one of the nation's ten largest travel companies. Travel Acquisitions Group was formed in January 2008 when TAG Chairman and Founder Michael Batt acquired the former Carlson Leisure Group from Minneapolis-based Carlson. In March 2008, TAG acquired the Florida-based TraveLeaders and has since rebranded it, along with its franchise network formerly known as Carlson Wagonlit Travel Associates, as Travel Leaders. In August 2008, TAG merged with New York-based Tzell Travel Group.
