Top data centers advisors in Europe?
Particularly interested in this subsector. Saw some good recent deals from MS/Roth/PWP. But was wondering what are the best places to be at as a junior banker in Europe if you are interested in these assets?

Not an expert here and would also be glad to hear more from someone who has more insight, but chipping in as I've worked on a few deals in the sector and interacted with professionals specialising in Digital Infrastructure (or what you call data centers).
More globally, the sector falls under the TMT umbrella and more particularly Telecoms (I know, bit different, but since telecom operators are also active in the sector, IB groups that have relationships with them can also advise them on those assets).
A few teams worth mentioning (in no particular order):
- Lazard TMT
- Nomura Greentech on the back of a strong 2023
- HL Digital Infrastructure (fka Oakley and acquired by HL last year)
- Guggenheim UK: former Greenhill team exclusively specialised on Telecom and Digital Infra who spun off earlier this year.
The space is quite active and it's worth getting more insight on teams like Evercore Paris (headed by 3 former CS TMT bankers with a strong track-record), or PWP who made a foray in the sector by hiring Orange's former Chairman & CEO. MS is looking to bulk up in the area as well and has hired a specialised ED (former Greenhill guy as well from the team mentioned above) and a few dedicated juniors from the Media & Comms group.
I also believe that given the strategic/sovereignty-related nature of the assets, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a premium/preference for national advisers depending on geography.
If anyone can add to this or provide additional insight or corrections, please feel welcome
RBC are the strongest in the space imo - on lots of sell-sides in EMEA the last few years.
Their data center report is basically the sector bible - very strong franchise
PWP did the digital bridge transaction and are generally strong in digital infra
Lots of competition in the sector currently, so other typical big players keep trying to get a slice of the cake
Just had a look at their report on CapIq. Really good and comprehensive, thanks!
