Clifford Chance advises INSITE DC on launch of data centre investment platform with Alceon

Global law firm Clifford Chance has advised Australian data centre developer and operator INSITE DC on the establishment of an investment platform with Alceon to support the acquisition and development of data centre assets across Asia‑Pacific.

The transaction provides INSITE DC with a scalable source of capital to support its development pipeline in a sector experiencing sustained demand.

Reuben van Werkum, Partner, said: “We’re proud to have supported INSITE DC on this landmark transaction, which demonstrates how private capital is increasingly being deployed through platform structures to support the development of critical digital infrastructure across Australia and APAC. As demand for data centres continues to accelerate, investors and operators are looking for scalable, long‑term funding models that can support growth across multiple jurisdictions.”

Reuben van Werkum and Partner Robert Tang led the Clifford Chance team, supported by counsel Naomi Kora and senior associate Tegan Kelly and associate Kate Procter. Partner Chad Bochan and counsel Julian Brun also advised on the transaction.

The mandate builds on Clifford Chance’s ongoing work advising on some of the largest and most significant digital infrastructure transactions across Asia‑Pacific and globally, including advising Partners Group on its acquisition of GreenSquareDC, Yondr Group on its US$900 million project financing for landmark hyperscale data centre in Malaysia and the AU$2.12 billion sale of Global Switch Australia.
