To Help the New Administration Help Your Industry, You Need an Agency Strategy (Real Estate Finance Journal)

A BakerHostetler team led by Partner Clayton Coley and Of Counsel Erica Svoboda guided longtime client Cox Automotive through its recent acquisition of Trudell, Trudell Trailer Sales and Northeast Great Dane. Throughout the Upper Midwest and Northeast, these businesses service and repair trailers; sell trailers and heavy-duty truck and trailer parts; and provide on-site trailer servicing, maintenance and industrial finishing. For Cox Automotive Mobility Fleet Services, the acquisition represents an entry into a new adjacency that complements its existing best-in-class mobile semi-trailer service operations and brings new products, services and expertise to customers.  In addition to Coley and Svoboda, the BakerHostetler team included Relationship Partner Eric Barnum and Partners John Lehrer, George Skupski, Bill Pence, Ann Caresani, Janine Anthony Bowen, Tom Hogan and Darren Crook; Patent Counsel Scott Simpkins; and Associates Jess Pekins, Mitch Robinson, Melissa Hewitt, Miranda Owens, Tera Coleman, Josh Jowdy and Andrew Begue. BakerHostetler has been representing the Cox family of companies since 2013.  <a href="https://www.coxenterprises.com/news/cox-automotive-acquires-trudell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">More information.</a>
