Career
Relied on by clients for his innovative thinking and straight-talking approach.
Dan Norris heads up the Hogan Lovells Global Real Estate team, covering 17 international offices. With a wealth of experience spanning 20 years, clients rely on Dan’s know-how to navigate them through their most complex real estate challenges. Notable experience includes acquiring the holding structure for London’s newest skyscraper, leading to GE’s disposal of its European real estate business to Blackstone for $24bn and funding the development, and then pre-letting 3 Snowhill. He has a substantial track record in running sale and leaseback deals in different sectors, and on income strips (straight investment and development funding, including using an innovative loan structure to provide real-time rather than rolled up returns).
According to a client, “he is exceptionally good – when you ask him about a legal position he will tell you but he will then talk you through different commercial positions as well, which is what you really want”.
In the current unprecedented environment, clients turn to Dan for frank and practical advice on a host of new challenges, whether it is occupiers locked into lengthy leasing arrangements or investors and developers assessing their options while decisions are on pause, and while tenants struggle to meet rental commitments.
Dan has experience across many asset classes ranging from major office schemes to logistics. He has developed particular experience in sports: selling two football stadia, developing the new AFC Wimbledon stadium in London, buying a football league club, and helping to develop the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield.
As well as being ranked in the Legal 500 Hall of Fame and being named notable practitioner by Chambers, Dan has been recognised as a “standout” by FT Innovative Lawyers.
For a no-obligation discussion about your real estate needs please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
