Debt finance of the acquisition and development of data centres draws on principles of real estate, project, leveraged and Holdco financings (or some combination of these models). Our latest thought leadership explores the key focus areas for lenders in their bankability analyses of data centre financings, in particular as regards site and access to power and water supply and consideration of the customer base, contracts and termination rights. We also see evidence of sustainability-linked terms in data centre financings as a potent tool in transitioning towards a more digital yet de-carbonised economy.

The so-called 'blue screen of death' is every computer user's worst nightmare so when more than eight million laptops and PCs were impacted by last week's CrowdStrike/Microsoft outage, the collective intake of breath could metaphorically be heard across the globe. Earlier today we highlighted the six legal issues emerging from the outage. Understanding your obligations for impacted companies is vital for planning, but what practical steps can help identify potential losses, preserve your position and protect your organisation from future outages? In a follow-up, forensic assessment of the ramifications of the incident, a heavyweight partner trio of Andrew Moir, Cameron (Cam) Whittfield and Greig Anderson highlight seven key steps for companies reeling from this latest global IT outage and look ahead to how the regulatory environment may evolve.

Some estimates suggest the APAC region’s data centre market will expand from 14,000 MW of inventory in 2024 to 23,000 MW by 2029 or a CAGR of 10.21% in computing capacity during the period. We are seeing evidence of this in terms of new data centres being constructed and existing data centres being densified and optimised now to meet future demand. Our latest thought leadership explores the current trends and highlights some of key legal issues relevant to data centre development, operation, financing and investment.
