Without Prejudice, Confidentiality and Professional Standards: Reflections on Hurst v SRA

The High Court’s decision in Ashley Hurst v Solicitors Regulation Authority [2026] EWHC 85 (Admin) marks a significant development for solicitors engaged in reputation management work. The case concerned disciplinary action taken by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) in relation to correspondence sent by Mr Hurst on behalf of former Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi during a dispute involving alleged defamation. The judgment contains useful guidance on the boundary between robust legal representation and conduct considered improper, particularly around the use of “without prejudice” and “confidential” labels.

Public domain documents pilot - public access to your English court documents is extended

As the Courts re-open, practitioners and clients alike need to consider the impact of new Practice Direction 51ZH which came into effect in the Commercial Court and Financial List of the Business & Property Courts on 1 January 2026. Known as the “Access to Public Documents Pilot”, the new rules aim to build on the principle of open justice to give easier access to Court documents that enter the public domain as a result of the pre-existing principles of open justice applicable to documents relied on at open hearings. It will sit on top of existing Court filing procedures to bolster the public facing Court files, changing the default position from one where, currently, non-parties must apply for public documents, to one where such documents are openly provided to the public through the public Court file.We consider here the new rules which the Pilot introduces and its likely impact.

Financing data centre developments: Balancing risk and opportunity in a capital-intensive sector

This is the third in a ten-part article series on the legal strategies shaping the future of data centre development in the UK. The United Kingdom’s data centre sector is built on a striking paradox: demand for digital infrastructure seems limitless, but building it requires eye-watering amounts of capital. A hyperscale facility can cost more than £500 million, putting data centres among the most capital-intensive real estate assets in the world. In this high-stakes environment, financing is not just about securing capital. It’s about designing the right capital structure – balancing debt and equity in a way that reduces risk, satisfies lenders, equity partners and tenants, and still delivers long-term returns. In this third instalment of our Insight Series, we look at how sophisticated financing structures are used to balance risk and opportunity in the UK data centre market and share practical advice to help developers navigate complexity with confidence

Structuring shell and core data centre developments: Legal strategies for scalability and flexibility

This is the second in a ten-part article series on the legal strategies shaping the future of data centre development in the UK. The UK data centre sector’s expansion is increasingly dominated by the shell and core development model. Hyperscale and major colocation tenants are seeking to deploy capital efficiently, accelerate their time-to-market, and retain maximum control over their proprietary technical environments. In response, developers are delivering powered shells – buildings with foundational power and cooling infrastructure but without tenant-specific fit-out – as the market standard. This approach provides tenants with the freedom to customise their IT architecture. But it also presents developers and investors with complex legal and commercial challenges. The core objective is to create a flexible, scalable asset while ensuring a secure, bankable investment that meets the stringent criteria of institutional finance. The success in shell and core projects depends on the seamless integration of planning, development, construction, leasing and regulatory strategies. A misstep in one area can cascade through the project, affecting finance, tenant relationships and operational performance. This second instalment of our Insight Series examines the legal frameworks underpinning these developments, from the structure of development management agreements and lease contracts to the regulatory considerations shaping the market.

Mastering powered land transactions for UK data centres

This is the first in a ten-part article series on the legal strategies shaping the future of data centre development in the UK. The UK’s data centre market is entering a period of rapid expansion, set to grow from $10.7 billion in 2024 to $22.7 billion by 2030. This is being driven by the computational demands of artificial intelligence, the widespread shift to cloud services and the relentless rise of enterprise-level computing. The result is a highly competitive market for powered land. For hyperscale operators, institutional investors and specialist developers, the acquisition of these sites is no longer confined to the parameters of conventional real estate. Instead, it’s now a complex, high-stakes convergence of energy regulation, planning law and strategic commercial negotiation. Successfully navigating this landscape to deliver projects on time and on budget requires commercially astute legal advice to mitigate risk, unlock value and achieve market-leading outcomes. In this article, we explore the legal, regulatory and commercial strategies that underpin successful data centre development, from planning consent and power supply agreements to ESG integration and emerging technological requirements.
