Buchalter President and Chief Executive Officer Adam J. Bass said, “The decision to open an office in Sacramento was an easy one as the city’s real estate, technology, government, financial services, environmental, and energy industries are all thriving. However, we insisted on waiting until we found the right fit culturally for Buchalter, and I am thrilled to welcome Jim, Gwenn and their teams to the firm. We look forward to further increasing our presence in Sacramento and the Central Valley in the near future.”
