Halloran Sage attorneys Casey O’Connell and Bob Cox have represented a group of Connecticut entrepreneurs who own auto repair franchises in Texas and Arizona. The firm guided the group through 12 franchise acquisitions and associated debt and equity financings. Since the initial acquisition, Halloran Sage has been a trusted advisor to the client through a general counsel engagement and provided restructuring advice to the company as its business has evolved. In June 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Halloran Sage documented and closed a divestiture of one of the client’s franchises, which provides it with rent relief and allows the company to focus on its profitable stores.
