Meagher & Geer partners, Michael Hutchens and Elizabeth Poeschl have co-authored an article in the Engineers and the Law section of the latest issue (Vol. 49, No. 4) of Engineering Minnesota. The article, titled “Data Center Dilemma–Downtime Can Lose Millions of Dollars,” explores the hidden legal issues of aging data centers that were not constructed to handle today’s unexpected torrential processing demand, or new centers that do not meet all code and regulatory requirements.

Mike Hutchens and Liz Poeschl are skilled litigators who devote a significant portion of their practices defending contractors, architects, and engineers. In December 2013, they won a successful result defending a data center designer in a multimillion dollar case. Between them, Liz and Mike have handled more than 100 jury trials. They are key members of Meagher & Geer’s construction practice group.
