CMS has announced the addition of two senior associates and transactional real estate specialists, Charlotte Miller and Keith Barber, to its data centre division.

Based in Glasgow, the team is set to further fortify its UK and European operations, advising data centre clients with a focus on their unique real estate requirements.

Led by Glasgow-based partner Chris Rae, the data centre team is supported by lawyers from specialist divisions across CMS covering core issues including construction, planning, power and technology. Its clients include Mizuho Bank, Emirates Airlines, McDonald’s Restaurants, and IBM.

Mr Rae said: “While CMS’s real estate team has been advising data centre investors, funders, developers, and occupiers for over two decades, the significant growth of this sector combined with emerging legislative issues is creating new opportunities which require people with Charlotte and Keith’s immense expertise.

“Their experience and understanding of real estate, landlord and tenant issues is integral in helping our clients meet these challenges to ensure companies and organisations across the UK and throughout Europe have the data storage capacity they require to thrive.”
