Maximizing essential infrastructure
The accelerating demand for digital infrastructure, driven by high-performance computing, evolving technology, and strategic transformation, is reshaping the data center landscape.
As limited supply, power constraints, regulatory complexity, and rising costs present both challenges and opportunities, our team delivers forward-looking legal solutions across the full lifecycle of data center development and operations.
Complex data center projects and operations span a range of legal issues, from mergers and acquisitions (M&A), investments, financing, and real estate to planning, regulatory, and day-to-day operations.
Our team advises across the full lifecycle of data center development, helping companies structure and execute transactions with precision and foresight. We leverage deep experience in joint ventures, incentive and permitting strategies, entitlements, construction, leasing, and long-term asset performance. This includes engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) and design-build agreements for data center facilities and supporting power infrastructure, as well as financing and regulatory strategies that support long-term performance. We coordinate each phase to align with our clients’ commercial objectives.
Building on this foundation, we advise on the delivery of digital infrastructure across large-scale, co-location, and multi-site campuses. Our work goes beyond conventional legal support, engaging directly with the operational complexities of data center environments. This includes structuring resilient energy solutions and power procurement strategies that align with local grid dynamics, regulatory frameworks across jurisdictions, and the high-availability demands of hyperscale deployments, often supported by robust construction and equipment procurement contracts.
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles are embedded throughout our approach, from site selection and permitting to long-term operations and investment strategy, enabling clients to proactively manage regulatory exposure, reputational risk, and sustainability targets.
We lead negotiations for service agreements, service-level agreements (SLAs), interconnection arrangements, and leases with hyperscale tenants and critical service providers, helping ensure scalable, secure platforms that can drive digital transformation and maintain operational continuity.
Operating through a powerful global platform, our team combines international reach with nuanced local insight to deliver seamless support wherever our clients build and operate. With decades of experience and deep sector knowledge, we address companies’ most pressing issues with no learning curve required.
