Please join WilmerHale for a one-hour webinar on the legal, regulatory and political forces shaping the rapid expansion of AI data centers. As demand accelerates and the political environment grows increasingly contentious, companies face a complex and shifting landscape spanning deal-making, energy and permitting, congressional scrutiny, and state and local regulatory challenges.
WilmerHale's cross-disciplinary team will discuss key developments and practical takeaways, including:
- the transactional landscape for data center development and investment;
- energy and permitting challenges facing new and expanding facilities;
- congressional oversight dynamics and the potential for federal investigations and legislation; and
- political and legal trends, including growing activity at the state and local level.
Participants in the live webinar will have the opportunity to ask questions online. This program is being prepared with the intention to offer CLE credit for attendees who join the live presentation.
