Deirdre Norris

Consultant | Property

LLB (Hons)

With over 25 years of legal practice, primarily at Glaister Keegan, I specialise in commercial and property law. My experience spans Overseas Investment Act approvals, commercial leasing, forestry, M&A, financial law, property syndication, and tech sector dealings. 

My experience includes: 
- Securing Overseas Investment Act approvals for key New Zealand entities including for NZ King Salmon and Whitford Forest Holdings Company. 
- Managing commercial leasing and sustainable construction projects including transactions tailored to meet strict Greenstar rating standards.
- Handling legal aspects of forestry ownership and transactions.
- Overseeing mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures.
- Advising on financial service law and ensured legislative compliance.
- Establishing and managing numerous property syndicates.
- Technology - although technology is not a primary focus, I deal with many kinds of technology contracts. 

I have always enjoyed the practice of law as it touches the lives of people in so many ways. I like to think that, in some small measure, we share in the triumphs, but equally the trials and tribulations of our clients. The culture of Glaister Keegan lends itself to this kind of legal practice: we have long term relationships with clients, both at the corporate level and at the personal level. Even though many aspects of legal practice have altered dramatically as technology has developed, this feature has remained at the core of Glaister Keegan’s service.
