By Miranda Brownlee 6 minute read

Adam Carr has joined Brisbane-based law firm James Conomos Lawyers (JCL Law Partners), a specialist law firm providing services in commercial litigation and insolvency.

Carr brings a unique understanding of the insolvency industry to the Brisbane-based law firm, having held roles at regulators for both personal and corporate insolvency.

His most recent role was at ASIC as an executive level 1 lawyer working across the Assetless Administration Fund and within the enforcement and compliance group focused on regulating the registered liquidator population.

Before this, Carr worked as an associate in the Brisbane office of national law firm Taylor David.

Carr also held previous roles at ASIC and the Australian Financial Security Authority (AFSA) over an almost seven-year period before moving to private practice.

"Being one of three lawyers in Australia that works in a team responsible for the regulation of liquidators gives me a unique and niche understanding of the industry," Carr said. 

 
 

"It also puts me in a really good place to advise liquidators and or bankruptcy trustees with regard to these issues."

Carr said while the corporate regulator offered great flexibility and autonomy, dealing with a large volume of court matters and significant publicity could be challenging.

Carr said he looked forward to working on court applications, assisting directors in turning around their business and restructuring, and dealing with shareholder disputes and liquidator compliance.
