Advise on post-acquisition matters, including construction, design, long-lead equipment and supply chain transactions.

Address regulatory questions and disputes arising from infrastructure projects, and collaborate across teams to manage interdependencies and risk.

Fluency in technical terms involving compute infrastructure, hardware specifications, data center operations, long-lead equipment, supply chain, and power and utilities requirements.

Experience negotiating real estate or physical infrastructure agreements, including colocation agreements, powered-shell and build-to-suit leases, capacity arrangements and connectivity agreements.

Experience with transaction diligence, regulatory issues and dispute resolution related to data center or infrastructure projects.

Practical judgment, initiative and the ability to learn adjacent practice areas and adapt as priorities evolve.
