Data Centers

There is no doubt that the global data center market is thriving and it is estimated to reach revenues of around $174 billion by 2023.

With an on-going migration of data from private servers to cloud-based solutions the rise of multi-cloud management platforms is set to increase worldwide. Currently, 67% of businesses opt for multi-cloud services to an outsourced data center as opposed to in-house servers and this is set to grow.

Our team of advisors are fully immersed in the sector, not only understanding the legal issues but also having a deep understanding of the data center market across multi-jurisdictions.
