Tim Fourteau

Tim Fourteau (not admitted in Japan) is a leading infrastructure lawyer who has particular experience in data centers and digital infrastructure, alongside a longstanding practice in conventional and renewable power, energy and other major infrastructure projects.

Tim has advised on over 50 data center and digital infrastructure matters and has been advising data center investors and developers outside Japan for almost a decade, well before the sector’s recent surge in investor interest and its emergence as a major global infrastructure asset class.  His experience spans the development, financing and acquisition of data centers and other digital infrastructure, including advising developers, investors and lenders on project development, bankability and financing strategies.

Beyond digital infrastructure, Tim has extensive experience across the broader infrastructure and energy sectors, including conventional and renewable power and other large-scale infrastructure projects.  His experience encompasses project development, project finance, structured corporate and M&A transactions.
