Data centres and digital infrastructure

Regulatory requirements shouldn't slow you down. We guide clients through planning, environmental, and infrastructure consents, keeping you compliant with data protection, AI regulations, ESG obligations, and telecoms rules. The result: regulation never becomes a roadblock.

Every month of delay hurts the business case. We've engineered our legal services for infrastructure speed – using modular agreements, fast-track document suites, and dedicated deal teams with defined turnaround times. We move as fast as your build schedule demands, so you get operational sooner and capture revenue faster.

Getting a data centre live is only half the battle – keeping it running reliably is just as critical. We help fortify operations through data breach response, outage disputes, and regulator engagement. We mitigate supply chain risk by structuring resilient vendor contracts with business continuity and uptime commitments built in.

Our expertise extends to the technology and operational layer of the data centre economy, including the structuring and negotiation of technology, managed services, and SLA frameworks that support uptime, performance, security, and long-term service continuity.

We structure projects from day one with the end game in mind – making them attractive to investors, lenders, and buyers. Our team advises on asset structuring for bankability, runs transaction-readiness audits, and accelerates refinancing or exit processes. The goal: maximise value and minimise hurdles whether you're raising capital or pursuing a sale.

We have core teams in the UK and Ireland offering deep local insight in both markets, whilst serving as a gateway for international companies entering these regions. Through a trusted global network, we coordinate cross-border projects seamlessly – from transatlantic hyperscale developments to regional co-location projects.

Access to power is one of the greatest risks for data centres. We secure grid capacity early, develop robust connection strategies, arrange private wire and offtake agreements, lock in substation sites, wayleaves, and easements, and explore on-site generation or battery storage solutions. By tackling power and infrastructure proactively, we ensure your facility isn't hamstrung by energy constraints.
