We advised a major urban real estate player on launching its data center network, with the goal of deploying fifteen sites by 2030. The challenge: designing a robust contractual framework suited to operational realities and client liability expectations.

We drafted the full suite of contractual documentation governing hosting services, incorporating the implications of case law stemming from the 2021 fire at a French operator. Each clause was calibrated to delineate responsibilities, anticipate technical risks, and ensure service continuity.

In parallel, we advised the client on the financial structuring of its offering, particularly in light of rising energy prices. The objective: building balanced pricing models capable of absorbing cost volatility while preserving commercial competitiveness. An approach that combines contract law, sector regulation, and economic analysis.

The client now has a complete, secure, and differentiated contractual architecture that enables it to deploy its data center network. The liability clauses and pricing mechanisms provide legal and financial clarity for corporate clients while protecting the operator against technical and energy-related uncertainties.

This engagement demonstrates our ability to intervene at the design phase of a digital infrastructure project, combining contractual expertise, risk analysis, and economic modeling in service of players driving the digital transformation of communities.
