Federal Treasurer Peter Costello has announced the appointment of a new deputy chairman of the Australian Securities and InvestmentsCommission (ASIC), filling a vacancy left open since December last year when Jeffrey Lucy stepped into the chairman role.

Jeremy Cooper is set to join the regulator, and brings more than 20 years experience in the area of company law, having served until recently as a partner with the legal firm Blake Dawson Waldron.

The Federal Treasurer says Cooper is keenly interested in developments in corporate law, having been a member of the Corporations Committee of the Business Law Section of the Law Council since 1995 and a regular speaker on corporate law issues.

Costello also confirmed the re-appointment of Berna Collier as ASIC member to a four-year term.

Collier, a lawyer by trade, is a member of the Insolvency Committee, the Company Law Committee, and the Banking and Finance Committee of the Law Council of Australia.

Prior to joining ASIC, Collier was Professor of Commercial Law at the Queensland University of Technology. Collier has been involved in financial services regulation and also consumer protection and regional matters during her time with the Commission.

“Collier has brought her considerable skills and experience in corporate law to ASIC’s great advantage over the last two and a half years,” Costello says.
