Projects with high energy demands such as data centers, AI infrastructure, semiconductor fabrication plants, advanced manufacturing facilities, and other hyperscale and energy intensive developments are faced with a unique set of legal and regulatory challenges. With a team of lawyers who have significant experience with infrastructure and energy intensive industries across the globe, we provide legal support across the lifecycle of these energy intensive projects, with a particular focus on energy access, infrastructure development, and operational readiness. We work closely with clients to address the foundational issues of power procurement, site viability, and entitlement strategy, ensuring that projects are positioned for long-term success.
Our work spans the full range of development and operational needs. We assist with real estate acquisition, zoning, permitting, and environmental review, as well as the negotiation of construction and engineering contracts tailored to complex, mission-critical energy intensive facilities. On the financial side, we advise on structuring investments, joint ventures, and other capital arrangements that align with project goals and risk profiles. Once operational, we support clients with service agreements, regulatory compliance, and energy reporting obligations.
As technologies and regulatory frameworks evolve, we help clients plan for what is ahead—whether that involves integrating renewable energy, preparing for AI-driven workloads, or responding to changing environmental standards. Our goal is to provide legal insight that supports both immediate project execution and long-term strategic planning across a range of power-intensive industries.
