In American jurisprudence, resolution of disputes often involves the use of important tools to obtain information necessary to achieving a client’s goals.

Im (vorläufigen) Insolvenzverfahren ist es die Aufgabe des Insolvenzverwalters, für den Schutz personenbezogener Daten zu sorgen. Er übernimmt anstelle des ursprünglichen Geschäftsführers/Inhabers die Führung des Unternehmens und wird damit gemäß Art. 4 Nr. 7 Datenschutzgrundverordnung (DSGVO) datenschutzrechtlich verantwortlich. Das gilt nicht nur, wenn personenbezogene Daten für die Zwecke des Insolvenzverfahrens verarbeitet werden, sondern betrifft alle Verarbeitungsvorgänge im schuldnerischen Unternehmen. Ein „Insolvenzprivileg“ kennt das Datenschutzrecht dabei nicht.

While the world wrestles with the day-to-day realities of the pandemic, 2021 will bring further challenges. With the memory of the litigious and regulatory aftermath of the global financial crisis still fresh, what should be on your radar?
