Shoosmiths

JP is a Partner in the Technology, Media and Commercial team at national law firm Shoosmiths, specialising in privacy, data protection and procurement. JP undertakes a wide range of information law work including data protection, cybersecurity, e-commerce, direct marketing and freedom of information - and has a range of clients in the aviation, retail and technology sectors, as well as charities and the public sector. He also has extensive experience in IT and BPO outsourcing and educational ICT, overlapping with his data privacy practice. JP’s practice includes advising on and reviewing data protection compliance strategies, including for the forthcoming General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) with global retailers, a leading regulated London financial services institution, major global and regional airlines and airports, website and technology operators and public sector bodies and charities; providing training at all levels of client organisations - including on the new EU General Data Protection Regulation and compliance strategies - ensuring that they take a global compliance approach and ensure that teams working in even countries with little or no regulation are aware of the rules which apply elsewhere and are likely to impact their operations; and procuring, negotiating and managing outsourced contracts, including for major public sector bodies and charities, the highlight being a successful renegotiation of a contentious £3bn health data services contract.
