Data Centres

Borenius’ experienced cross-practice Data Centre team brings together industry-leading knowledge to represent operators, corporate end-users, developers, and investors in data centre projects. We understand the complexities of data centre projects and draw on our extensive experience to advise on the full spectrum of legal requirements.

Our specialist team has market-leading expertise in regulatory, construction, planning, financing, joint ventures, investments, energy, property and tax, and it constantly monitors the regulatory landscape. We advise clients throughout the entire lifecycle of a data centre project, from business strategy, planning, site selection, acquisition, and development, through to operation and exit. Once operational, we continue to support clients with ongoing legal requirements.

Major international organisations choose to locate data centres in Finland in order to benefit from the connectivity, security and reliability provided. Borenius’ Data Centre team has unrivalled credentials in the Finnish data centre market, and our clients benefit from our all-round experience of multi-billion-euro data centre investments.

We are a member of the Finnish Data Center Association, with our partner Emma Niemistö serving as a board member. This enables us to maintain strong connections and deep knowledge of the local community, further strengthening the value we provide to our clients.
