Data Center Backlash Fogs Finance Picture for New Projects, Law360
14. August 2026Partner Arjun Ramadevanahalli was quoted by Law360 in an article examining how evolving state and local considerations surrounding data center development are creating greater uncertainty for project financing and investment decisions.
The article discusses how developers and lenders are responding to increased permitting, power, and political risks, including whether projects can be delayed while the regulatory landscape develops. Arjun noted that the feasibility of delaying a project will depend on its timing and stage of development.
“Whether or not that’s viable will really depend on how quickly the project’s needed, how advanced it is, when the compute or the energy is needed,” he said. “If the train has sort of left the station, maybe that’s not a viable approach.”
