Transport Topics: Nation’s Ports Set Records, but Concerns Heighten Over Tariffs
Englander Knabe & Allen senior vice president Alex Cherin is quoted in a recent Transport Topics article entitled, “Nation’s Ports Set Records, but Concerns Heighten Over Tariffs”:
One trucking official said while some have suggested fear of tariffs is helping to lift recent port volume, he believes the results are more business-driven.
“It has been a pretty consistent climb over the last few years in terms of volumes,” Alex Cherin, executive director of the California Trucking Association’s Intermodal Carriers Conference, told Transport Topics. “There has been a little bit of rumbling [that] the tariff issue will impact some of the volume coming into the West Coast because that is predominantly Chinese-originated cargo, but we haven’t seen that just yet. By all other indications it’s full steam ahead.”
CoStar: The Saga of One Beverly Hills
EKA founding member Harvey Englander is quoted in a recent article on 9900 Wilshire Boulevard:
“People in Beverly Hills compare the two sites since they were entitled at virtually the same exact time,” said Harvey Englander, who has been a consultant at the 9900 Wilshire site several times and does lobbying for Beverly Hilton and Waldorf-Astoria owner Oasis West. “The Wanda site has gone through ownership changes. There’s been demolition and some water pipe work done. You compare that to right across the street, which was entitled a month later and had to face a referendum, which slowed it down some more, and you have a Waldorf hotel, which is surpassing everyone’s expectations.”

LVRJ: Social media uproar follows lawsuit against victims with #BoycottMGM
EKA partner Eric Rose was quoted in a recent Las Vegas Review Journal article on the MGM Resorts International public relations disaster over their lawsuit against shooting victims:
The company was “dealt a bad hand” in having to file a lawsuit that could expedite the case, said Eric Rose, a partner at California-based crisis management firm Englander Knabe & Allen. However, MGM should have explained its actions before the media picked up on the lawsuit, he said.
“They couldn’t explain the lawsuit in a sound bite and therefore they are suffering the consequences with bad headlines. It makes it look like they are going after the victims. It is going to hurt their brand.”
Rose told the Review-Journal he expects MGM to see an immediate loss in bookings and canceled stays in the short term.
