Belinda Taranger Ingebrigtsen works primarily within classic real estate law, general contract law, ESG and litigation, specializing on data centre agreements and associated agreements. 

Ingebrigtsen has thus, for over a decade, been advising clients within a broad range of aspects related to the data centre industry such as drafting, reviewing and negotiating:

  • data center agreements both for colocation space and for single user locations, and also smart-hands services agreements and rack- by rack agreements
  • contracts with the design, planning and build contractor(s) and the various other procurement contracts related to the construction of data centers and data center rooms
  • standard documents for use in the data centre operations in relation to both data centre clients and the supply chain towards the data centre operators.

The contracting parties on the opposite side have been national, international, hyperscalers, and multinational companies with contract teams from countries such as e.g. Norway, Germany, France, England and USA. As an example, Ingebrigtsen worked with client Green Mountain AS in drafting and negotiation an agreement with TikTok to support their increasing data storage needs in Europe. A new 150 MW site is currently being constructed for this purpose and the new data centra campus will be the largest data centra campus in Norway.

Further, as part of her work with ESG, Ingebrigtsen has drafted contracts related to the reuse of heat from data centres such as land-based lobster and fish farms (re)using waste heat from data centres, and Ingebrigtsen has recently done a series of work drafting and negotiation contract clauses and codes of conduct to accommodate the Norwegian transparency act securing basic human rights in commercial deals. Ingebrigtsen has also assisted clients in relation to the Norwegian act relating to national security (Security Act). 

Ingebrigtsen also regularly helps, a number of different clients, in different sectors, with drafting and/or renewing standard terms and conditions. 

As a lawyer Ingebrigtsen has assisted clients in real estate acquisitions, management of public authorities, in development, lease and sale of commercial and residential property projects, and in general counseling and contract work. Ingebrigtsen also regularly assists major developers in connection with complaints from consumers and other buyers. Ingebrigtsen litigates an average of two to three trials a year. She has experience in dispute resolution both as a lawyer in court proceedings and in arbitration. She has also been a deputy judge and an acting District Court judge and has experience as both a judge and a broker in court mediation. 

Finally, Ingebrigtsen has experience from several assignments as a board member, and she is currently Chairman of the Board of Peder Smedvig’s Scholarship and a member of the CMS Kluge board.

Ingebrigtsen is committed to practical advice and efficient and seamless interaction with clients.
