Marsh Workshop: Ensuring success from the start: Data centre contract risk management (Invite-only)

As demand for scalable, AI‑ready infrastructure accelerates, contractual terms — especially service level agreements (SLAs) and risk transfer mechanisms — are increasingly decisive for project viability, investor confidence, and long‑term cash flow protection. This workshop provides developers, owners, operators, and investors with practical, actionable guidance on identifying, quantifying, and transferring contractual exposures to ensure operational shocks do not undermine commercial objectives.

We will cover how contract design and insurance solutions can preserve contracted revenue, smooth earnings volatility, and reduce the cost of capital, while supporting commercial and sales objectives. Drawing upon emerging risk trends, case studies, and potential SLA exposure insights, we will examine strategies to limit indemnities and loss amplification, and pathways to policy structures that can trigger catastrophic service credit payment events or lease‑termination risks.

During the panel workshop, we will also highlight sector-wide risks — including greater interdependence from AI workloads, supply chain fragility, evolving cyber‑physical threats, and regulatory change — and what these risks mean for contractual protections.

Key strands for the discussion will include:

• Contractual risk management and insurance solutions — structuring risk transfer mechanisms and aligning insurance to protect long‑term cash flows.
• SLA design, measurement, and analysis — exposures, reducing penalty risks, and unexpected earnings impacts.
• Equity and investor protection — reducing perceived operational volatility and using insurance to support fundraising and tenant stability.

Do not miss practical tools, case studies, and insights on risk and litigation trends, and a live Q&A to help you turn contract terms into strategic protection rather than a source of risk.
