The technology layer of modern capability.

Data center capacity is being built at a scale that has no precedent. AI infrastructure is being procured by governments, industrial groups, and sovereign vehicles simultaneously. Industrial data, once an operational afterthought, now defines competitive position across manufacturing, logistics, and defense. The regulatory architecture around all of this — the EU AI Act, NIS2, the Data Act, the Cyber Resilience Act, export controls on advanced compute — is being written while projects are already in procurement.

Our practice works at the edge where transactional execution meets fast-moving regulation. We structure hyperscale and colocation data center projects from site acquisition through commercial operation. We advise on AI Act classification for systems that straddle commercial and defense-adjacent use. We navigate the export-control regime around advanced GPU compute — the EAR update stream, the EU dual-use list, and the U.S.–EU coordination that increasingly binds them together.

We act for data center developers, cloud and AI infrastructure sponsors, industrial consumers of compute, defense-adjacent technology companies, and the financiers capitalizing each layer. The integration between this sector and our Defense Production, Critical Materials, and Infrastructure practices is structural — modern defense capability is a compute question as much as a manufacturing question, and the transactions reflect that.
