Daniel Farris Authors Article on Data Center Selection and Structuring
Foley & Lardner LLP partner Daniel Farris authored the Data Center Dynamics article, “Legal and strategic considerations in data center site selection and deal structuring.”
Farris discusses the growing demands of scale, sustainability, and security data center owners and operators face as high-performance computing, Edge computing, and high-density AI hyperscale evolve, highlighting how new partnerships, deal structures, and legal requirements are shaping the sector.
“For many in the data center industry, transactions are now a high-wire act, demanding close collaboration among legal, technical, and commercial teams,” Farris concludes. “The winners will be those who can structure deals that are not only robust and risk-balancing but agile enough to last in a landscape where yesterday’s laws, workloads, and competitive advantages can change overnight.”
