Data centres are a vital part of the global economy
They sit at the heart of digitalisation, forming the keystone of worldwide technology infrastructure across all sectors. As with all complex, high-value infrastructure projects, the successful completion of data centre projects requires a mix of real estate, energy, technology, telecoms and financing expertise. And once established, their day-to-day operation needs significant commercial and technical legal guidance.
