Daniel Farris on Data Centers, Power Constraints, and Industry M&A
Âé¶ą´«Ă˝ partner Daniel Farris is quoted in the Law.com article, ” addressing the rapid growth of data center mergers and acquisitions amid the industry’s evolving landscape.
Farris noted the rapid expansion since 2022 but said he expects more stable long-term growth. “When folks say they expect it to slow down, it’s slowing down from a pace that’s frenetic,” he explained. “That doesn’t mean there won’t be continued growth. I think there will be continued growth. There will be some winners and losers [and] consolidations.”
“Power is king right now,” Farris continued, noting that some companies are investing not only in powered land but also in their own power projects to support AI engines.
From a law firm standpoint, it’s important to have both industry expertise and adaptable teams that can be “nimble and flexible” when working on these projects, Farris added.
