Data centres have become essential infrastructure as businesses across all sectors undergo digital transformation and embrace artificial intelligence technologies.
National and provincial governments are positioning Canada as a key jurisdiction for data centre development, supported by competitive power costs, strong natural gas and renewables bases, naturally cool and low-risk climates, abundant fibre connectivity, availability of industrial land and water resources, and a competitive corporate-tax environment. Successfully developing and operating data centres across Canada requires navigating complex legal and regulatory requirements across multiple domains.
Our national Data Centres and Digital Infrastructure group brings together specialists across our corporate, real estate, indigenous, construction, infrastructure, energy, and regulatory practices to deliver comprehensive legal services to developers, operators, hyperscalers, investors, and tenants throughout the project lifecycle—from initial site evaluation through construction, financing, operation, and disposition. We understand the technical, commercial and regulatory challenges specific to data centre development across Canada.
Whether you're establishing your first Canadian presence, expanding existing operations, developing greenfield facilities, or acquiring existing assets, we deliver practical, innovative and cost-effective legal advice to ensure your project's success.
