Please join us for Data Center Bytes, our recently launched webinar series during which Morgan Lewis lawyers will discuss the key legal considerations, industry trends, and regulatory developments shaping data center growth and operations.
The next webinar will be held tomorrow, February 27, 2025, for an in-depth discussion on trends in the Middle East. Panelists Jennifer Josefson, Ayman Khaleq, Anastasia Dergacheva, and Ksenia Andreeva will provide insights into legal risks and best practices for stakeholders operating in the Middle East’s data center ecosystem.
With the rapid digitalization of the global economy, the ability to collect, store, and transmit data quickly and securely has never been more critical. As a result, market players are increasingly placing their attention on data centers and telecommunications infrastructure, highlighting their essential role in the modern business landscape.
In particular, the Middle East market has attracted significant interest as it is recognized as a key regional hub for data centers and draws substantial investments from both domestic and international stakeholders. Today, this data center market is experiencing an unprecedented boom, driven by digital transformation initiatives, cloud adoption, and an increasing regulatory focus on data sovereignty. To keep up with these developments, governments across the region are actively formulating laws and policies to regulate data centers.
As a result, developing, operating, and utilizing data centers in the region requires navigating a complex web of legal and regulatory considerations, including real estate, construction, licensing, contracts, and environmental aspects.

- 2/27/2025 – Trends in the Middle East
- 3/9/2025 – The Vendor Perspective
- 4/2/2025 – Real Estate and Environmental Considerations
