Stites & Harbison understands the complex legal issues and fast-paced demands of the hyperscale and data center industry. Our Data Center Service Group includes lawyers who work seamlessly across firm practice areas to support concept to completion data center development. Whether a startup or longstanding company in the industry, Stites & Harbison maintains the necessary experience and knowledge to act as a “one stop shop” to its data center clients.

With attorneys who offer both industry understanding and diverse legal know-how, we routinely negotiate due diligence, design, construction, procurement, supplier, operation, consulting, and employment agreements. Our team members draft and negotiate real estate acquisition agreements and leases, and advise on privacy and data security matters, and tax issues. We understand data center energy demands (and challenges) and regularly advise clients on power procurement in an ever-changing market. Our attorneys also work closely with data center developers to meet their sustainability and environmental goals.
