Lockton Launches Global Data Centers & Digital Infrastructure Practice
Lockton has launched its global Data Centers & Digital Infrastructure Practice to provide integrated risk solutions for the infrastructure supporting AI, cloud computing, and digital connectivity. The new practice aims to help organizations manage complex risks associated with data centers through a consultative model that combines engineering insight, analytics, market expertise, and tailored insurance products. The initiative is led by James Nelson in the U.S. and Sam Baker in the UK, both bringing extensive experience in risk advisory and digital infrastructure solutions. The practice supports clients across all stages of development—from planning to operations—and serves a broad ecosystem including hyperscalers, developers, investors, and operators. Lockton emphasizes its independence as an advantage for delivering customized global advice beyond traditional insurance placement. The launch reflects the growing importance of data centers in modern economies and the increasing complexity of managing their associated risks. The new practice is expected to help clients build resilient infrastructure with greater confidence while enabling them to focus on growth and innovation.
