Lockton launches global data centers and digital infrastructure practice
Lockton, the world's largest privately owned independent insurance broker, has launched its Global Data Centers & Digital Infrastructure Practice. This consulting service provides comprehensive risk management solutions for the infrastructure supporting AI, cloud computing, and digital connectivity. The new initiative builds on Lockton’s extensive global experience in managing complex risks associated with hyper-scale campuses, multi-building developments, phased construction programs, operational portfolios, and energy-related infrastructure. The practice offers a lifecycle approach to advising clients—from planning and site selection through operations and scalability—to help them navigate the increasingly interconnected and capital-intensive data center landscape. The team supports owners, operators, developers, investors, hyperscalers, and technology providers across all project phases with tailored solutions covering construction risks, errors & omissions, service-level agreements, environmental hazards, cybersecurity, surety bonds, and more. The practice is led by James Nelson in the U.S. and Sam Baker in the UK.
