Jeffrey Bass: Veteran attorney starts new firm, targets land use litigation

After playing a key role in shaping South Florida’s landscapes and skylines, Miami Attorney Jeffrey Bass has launched his boutique law firm in Coral Gables.

Following a 30-year run as co-founder at Shubin & Bass in downtown Miami, Mr. Bass begins the year with the launch of The Bass Law Firm, in which he can continue hands-on and focused attention to clients’ matters. 

The Bass Law team plans to handle the most complex matters from the point of initial conflict, throughout trial court proceedings in state and federal court, to the conclusion of the appellate process, Mr. Bass said.

The firm aims to focus on complex commercial litigation with an emphasis on administrative law, appellate practice, climate, constitutional law, land use, local government law, water, zoning and business disputes.

The new firm’s structure allows Mr. Bass to selectively serve as lead litigation and appellate counsel on complex cases and land use disputes and further allows him to serve as co-counsel alongside national and international firms in need of his subject matter expertise. The new firm also allows for creative and collaborative fee structures with select clients.

“Bass Law has three simple superpowers: We are hands-on, hyper-focused, and nimble. Our new structure optimizes each of these abilities.” Mr. Bass said. “There is a dynamism in South Florida at this moment that is unlike any other place. The flex and flux of competing policy visions, precious resources, world-class design, deep architectural history, varied cultures, climate challenges, and limited lands make this the most exciting location in the galaxy for what we do. The ability to practice here is a blessing for which we are grateful every single day.”

Mr. Bass spoke with Miami Today Reporter Abraham Galvan.
