Lockton launches global Data Centers & Digital Infrastructure advisory practice
Lockton, the world's largest independent private insurance broker, has launched a new global advisory practice focused on risk management for digital infrastructure. The initiative addresses risks associated with data centers and other critical components of AI, cloud computing, and digital connectivity. This service builds upon Lockton’s extensive experience in managing complex risks related to hyperscale campuses, multi-building investments, construction programs, operational portfolios, and power infrastructure. The new practice offers a comprehensive advisory model combining risk strategy, analytics, engineering expertise, and market knowledge tailored for the entire data center ecosystem—supporting owners, operators, developers, investors, cloud service providers, and technology firms. It covers all project lifecycle stages from planning to ongoing operations with customized solutions addressing construction risks, professional liability, SLA contracts, environmental hazards, cybersecurity, insurance guarantees, and more. James Nelson in the U.S. and Sam Baker in the UK will lead the practice globally. Both bring deep expertise in risk advisory and innovative insurance products for data centers.
