Taft, one of the fastest-growing law firms in the country, announced today the launch of its Data Centers, Digital Infrastructure, and Powering AI industry group. Built for the speed and scale of AI, Taft’s group delivers end-to-end legal counsel and strategic advice to data center developers, investors, operators, utilities, and hyperscale and colocation providers.

At its core, Taft’s Data Centers, Digital Infrastructure, and Powering AI industry group helps clients move efficiently through development, manage risk, and address the complex legal and regulatory challenges that arise at every stage of data center and digital infrastructure projects.

This integrated approach is led by a cross-section of partners who are at the forefront of this work for Taft: Kathryn Kovitz Arnold, Graham C. Grady, Christopher L. Miller, and Bryan Reyhani.

Developed to support the rapidly accelerating demands of AI, high-performance computing, and mission-critical digital infrastructure, Taft’s multidisciplinary team of attorneys and professionals work together to provide comprehensive legal representation and strategic advice across real estate, energy and utilities, zoning and land use, tax and incentives, environmental, construction, privacy and cybersecurity, intellectual property, litigation, government relations, and financing issues.

“Our growing footprint, from both a geographical and capability standpoint, uniquely positions us to guide industry participants throughout the AI landscape, where we have been active for years,” said Robert J. Hicks, Taft’s firmwide Chairman and Managing Partner. “It’s a high-growth industry, and we’re extremely proud of our work serving clients in this dynamic space.”

“Taft has been an essential partner since our inception, supporting every aspect of our business—from real estate acquisition and permitting to government affairs, energy and water matters, financing, and technology,” said Kim Zadeh, president of Toshi CMC. “Their team is highly proactive, deeply business-focused, and brings exceptional insight to navigating the data center landscape. As we expand our operations across the United States, we could not ask for a stronger legal, strategic, and business partner.”

Taft is one of the fastest-growing law firms in the nation today with more than 1,250 attorneys in 25 offices and projected revenues exceeding $1 billion. In 2025, Taft became the only Am Law 100 firm to successfully close three mergers in a single calendar year: Morris, Manning & Martin (Atlanta and Washington, D.C.); Mrachek Law (Florida); and Sherman & Howard (Mountain West).
