Addleshaw Goddard advises Digital Realty on strategic acquisition in Bulgaria

Addleshaw Goddard has advised Digital Realty - the world’s largest cloud- and carrier-neutral data centre platform, on its entry into Bulgaria through the acquisition of Telepoint, a leading Bulgarian data centre and interconnection provider. Through this strategic transaction, Digital Realty establishes a new market presence in Sofia, one of Southeast Europe’s most important emerging interconnection hubs. The acquisition includes two data centres in Sofia, one of which is among the most highly interconnected facilities in Southeast Europe, with over 110 unique network service providers and multiple cloud on-ramp deployments.
