Englander Knabe & Allen partner Eric Rose was quoted in a Los Angeles Times article on a lawyer who submitted a speaker card containing “racist images” to Los Angeles City Council president Herb Wesson – and the lack of action on the part of the State Bar to punish the attorney in question:

The State Bar’s response infuriated one of the people who filed a complaint against Spindler: public affairs consultant Eric Rose. He contends the State Bar does not need formal criminal charges to determine that Spindler engaged in acts of “moral turpitude.”

Rose, who received the State Bar letter, argued that the state licensing agency “lets attorneys who exhibit what most people would view as unethical conduct off the hook.”

“In my view, [Spindler’s activities] are clearly acts of moral turpitude, and I’m surprised the State Bar doesn’t agree,” said Rose, a partner with Englander, Knabe & Allen, a firm that lobbies on behalf of clients at City Hall and elsewhere.

Englander Knabe & Allen Senior Vice President Alex Cherin was quoted in a Long Beach Post article entitled, “New Clean Air Action Plan at the Ports of Long Beach, Los Angeles Could Cost Up to $14 Billion”:

Wednesday afternoon, California Trucking Association CEO Shawn Yadon, CTA Intermodal Conference Executive Director Alex Cherin and Harbor Trucking Association Executive Director Weston LaBar released a joint statement following the release of the CAAP where they cautioned balance when in achieving environmental goals while taking into account the costs incurred by those who must replace older trucks with those compliant with the updated action plan.

“For an industry that has already invested more than $1 billion to meet and exceed the stated air emission goals of the first CAAP, we must continue to pursue a balanced approach that pushes forward new technology and further reduces emissions without overly burdening truckers,” the statement said.

“We look forward to working with our partners to implement the operational goals—including the goal of meeting an hour-visit time at our terminal facilities—that have now been identified as a critical component of the Ports’ clean air strategy.”

“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.
