Norton Rose Fulbright has appointed Kirsty Harrower from Locke Lord as a partner in the law firm’s real estate team in London.
Harrower, who was a partner at Locke Lord, is one of the leading data centre lawyers in the UK and specialises in advising clients on data centre projects both in the UK and internationally.
In her new role, Harrower will work alongside Norton Rose Fulbright’s existing teams, who regularly advise on data centre projects in the UK and internationally.
Norton Rose Fulbright’s London head of real estate David Hawkins said: “Kirsty will make an excellent addition to our international real estate practice. Her knowledge around data centres is unparalleled and will strengthen our existing data centre experience and practice. In recent years data centres have played a pivotal role in the real estate sector, with an additional boost from the increased demand for data, particularly following the pandemic. We are seeing a strong pipeline of work in this area.”
Harrower added: “I am thrilled to start working alongside my new colleagues to drive forward innovative solutions for clients in the digital infrastructure space. Norton Rose Fulbright already has a stellar reputation in the real estate, energy and infrastructure sectors and I look forward to being part of such a well respected team. The firm has outstanding global reach, as well as great depth in complementary practice areas, which is a hugely exciting opportunity to provide a streamlined service to clients.”
