2026年06月22日Partners Jeannine Bishop and Kelly Kuschel co-authored an article for Lexis Practical Guidance examining key legal and operational considerations for negotiating data center leases.
The authors discuss how data center leases differ from traditional commercial real estate agreements, with heightened focus on security, privacy, continuity of operations, utility availability, and specialized infrastructure. They also analyze important considerations related to maintenance structures, casualty and environmental risks, construction obligations, landlord access, and tenant protections, highlighting how lease provisions can be tailored to support the unique operational and risk-management needs of data center operators and investors.
