On today's episode of our podcast, On The Merits, we hear from Bloomberg Law reporter Roy Strom about several examples of law firms deploying multidisciplinary practice groups to solve complex problems for data center builders. Roy also talks about why it may not pay for firms to approach the data center boom cautiously. \"If this work goes away, the law firms will struggle, there'll be some partners who have a lot of time on their hands,\" he said, \"but the bigger risk to the law firms right now is probably missing out on a sort of once-in-a-generation extravaganza.\" Do you have feedback on this episode of On The Merits?
