Powering Data Centers

Powering data centers is a key priority in shaping the future of energy. We guide clients on securing reliable energy sources, integrating diversified energy options, and managing energy contracts and grid access. Our experience includes advising on wholesale and retail power purchase agreements (PPAs), onsite generation and microgrid configurations, and energy efficiency strategies.

We advise clients globally on the development, acquisition, and financing of data centers, with a particular focus on powering them reliably, efficiently, and sustainably. Our cross-disciplinary teams spanning energy, projects, real estate, corporate, commercial, finance, regulatory, and tax—deliver integrated support across jurisdictions, ensuring seamless execution from site selection to operational readiness.

Our deep sectoral expertise in telecommunications, land use, environmental law, and employment complements our energy focus, enabling us to assess site viability, navigate planning and permitting, and secure ownership of critical infrastructure from cooling and fire suppression to customer contracts and land rights.

With strong relationships with local regulators and a global footprint, we deliver coordinated, market-specific advice that powers every aspect of the data center lifecycle.
