Deirdre Bourdet is an associate attorney in DP&F’s business and land use departments.  Her practice focuses on business and real property transactions, land use planning, and related advice. 

Prior to law school, Deirdre earned a Diplôme de Cuisine and a certification in wine studies from L’Ecole Le Cordon Bleu in Paris.  She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Vassar College with a degree in French, and subsequently worked for Zagat Survey researching restaurants and hotels around the world.

Berkeley’s Boalt Hall School of Law, and worked in the San Francisco office of Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP for nearly two years before joining DP&F in May 2007.  She is elated to at last put all her degrees to work, and when not at the office enjoys experimenting in the kitchen, hunting fabulous food finds, and pursuing any and all adventures for the palate.
