About Me

Junde Liu

My name is Junde Liu. I am a tax and corporate attorney in Florida. I was admitted to The Florida Bar in September 2026. I graduated cum laude with my JD from the University of Florida Levin College of Law, and I am finishing my Tax LLM there. I started Compute Law Blog because I want to practice AI data center law. The aim of the blog is to explain the law of building and powering AI data centers in plain words. In my free time, I like to study how new technologies work and try out different AI models. You can also find me on LinkedIn.
