Lockton Launches New Practice to Address Risks in Data Centres
Lockton has launched a global data centres risk practice aimed at helping organizations manage risks associated with digital infrastructure. The initiative combines risk strategy, analytics, engineering insight and market expertise into one advisory model for developers, hyperscalers, investors, operators, owners and technology providers. The new service will support clients through all stages of their projects—from planning to construction, operational launch, portfolio expansion and ongoing management—offering customized solutions in areas such as cyber risk, environmental risks, errors and omissions, surety, and more. The practice is led by James Nelson (US) and Sam Baker (UK), both with extensive experience in the insurance sector. Lockton reported $4.5 billion global revenue for fiscal year 2026, a 12% increase from the previous year driven largely by organic growth of 11%. This marks six consecutive years of double-digit organic growth despite challenging market conditions.
