Adam Bass is the co-founder and longtime president of Buchalter, one of California’s most powerful corporate law firms representing banks, developers, and major real estate interests. A fixture in pro-business politics, he sits on the boards of both the California Chamber of Commerce and the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, organizations that routinely lobby against stronger tenant protections, labor rights, and environmental regulations. Bass’s influence places him at the center of the legal and lobbying machinery that shapes policy in favor of corporate and developer interests across California.
