Englander Knabe & Allen partner Eric Rose was quoted in a Computerworld article analyzing the impact of the United Airlines public relations disaster having hauled a customer off a plane forcibly:
“The optics are bad,” said Eric Rose, a partner and crisis management expert with Los Angeles-based Englander, Knabe & Allen. “It doesn’t look good to drag a person out through a cabin with the person screaming. They created the crisis and they’ve compounded that crisis by the way they handled it.”
Englander Knabe & Allen partner Eric Rose was quoted in a Los Angeles Times article covering the public relations disaster for United Airlines after it forcibly removed a passenger from a flight, which was then documented with video on social media:
“This is what we call in crisis management ‘creating your own crisis,'” said Eric Rose, a crisis management expert with Los Angeles-based Englander, Knabe & Allen. “They created their own crisis and handled it miserably.”

LA Weekly’s coverage of Proposition M, a measure to allow the City of Los Angeles to issue business licenses to retail marijuana products, included a quote from Englander Knabe & Allen founding partner Harvey Englander:
The United Cannabis Business Alliance, which endorsed Proposition M, is in favor only of direct delivery from brick-and-mortar stores.
“Our position has always been that delivery should be restricted to brick-and-mortar shops, if there’s going to be delivery at all,” says Harvey Englander of government-relations consulting firm Englander Knabe & Allen, which represents UCBA.
Englander says he wonders how delivery pot will be taxed if third-party services are legalized. Those services sometimes deliver their own product. City prosecutors had made a similar argument against Speed Weed.
Englander Knabe & Allen founding partner Harvey Englander is quoted in LA Weekly coverage of Measure M, the marijuana licensing initiative for the City of Los Angeles:
Veteran political operative Harvey Englander, of government-relations consulting firm Englander Knabe & Allen, is helping another coalition of pot shops, the United Cannabis Business Alliance, voice its concerns at City Hall. The group spearheaded the abandoned Measure N; it now backs Measure M.
Englander says he isn’t too worried about the tepid enthusiasm behind Measure M. “It’s real quiet out there,” he says. “That’s typical in a city election. We don’t have a lot on the ballot generating a lot of excitement.
“Support for laws regulating marijuana are popular,” Englander adds. “There’s support for this.”
Englander Knabe & Allen Senior Vice President Alex Cherin was quoted in the Grunion article entitled, “SeaPort Marina Hotel Out, Development Moves Ahead”:
Two weeks ago, Raymond Lyn began the process of shutting down the aging hotel, according to spokesman Alex Cherin. Reservations and bookings were stopped, and both long-term residents and businesses operating on the property were asked to vacate.
“The closure is going on as we speak,” Cherin said Monday. “We expect it to continue for about two weeks, then we’ll look at demolition going forward.”
