Joachim Schrey advises national and international clients in various industries on IT and high-tech projects and on IT compliance issues. Such projects include systems integration projects and outsourcing projects related to IT infrastructure and services (first- and next- generation outsourcing). He also has expertise in business process outsourcing, e.g. in the area of credit card processing, payroll- and accounting services, securities processing etc. and projects on the development, supply and operation of high-technology systems (e.g. road traffic monitoring and tolling systems). Clients seek his advice not only in the course of the development, negotiation and implementation of such projects but also when projects are at risk or in other crisis situations. In IT compliance, Joachim Schrey advises clients on data protection and privacy law (e.g. international exchange of personal data, whistleblowing hotlines) and other issues arising with the use of IT (e.g. document archiving).
