Englander & Associates, a strategic communications firm specializing in crisis communications, litigation support, public affairs and issues management, announced recently that the Los Angeles Business Journal has named the firm as the fastest growing and 10th largest communications firm in Los Angeles County. This represents a jump of five positions from last year's ranking as the 15th largest firm.

With growth of 46 percent in 2007, Englander & Associates has more than doubled its client roster to include companies such as Westfield, Motorola, Downey Hospital, BNSF, AT&T and the Los Angeles Police Protective League.

Founded in 2005, Englander & Associates provides strategic counsel to clients on a range of issues, with particular focus on, and experience in, reputation and crisis management, litigation support, public affairs, government advocacy, media relations, community relations, financial communications and marketing material development.

"Companies, trade associations and other major institutions are turning to Englander & Associates because they want to solve problems, they want results, and most importantly, they need and expect senior level counsel at every step," said Harvey Englander, managing partner. "Most PR firms hand off the work to those with less than five years experience and think that they will be able to achieve results for clients; our clients know and have come to expect that only seasoned professionals work on the business, which ensures they achieve the results they demand."

Each of the nine partners in the firm brings more than a decade of experience and expertise developing communications campaigns for Fortune 500 companies, financial institutions, trade associations, government agencies, educational institutions and nonprofits. The firm does not employ any account executives; rather, the strategy and implementation is conducted solely by the partners.
