Announcing Our New Author: Barrister Vikram Misra

/
Author updates

With the retirement of former author Sydney Jacobs, we’re thrilled to welcome Barrister Vikram Misra as the new author of Commercial Damages and Injunctions: Law and Practice—a dynamic practitioner known for results, clarity, and thought leadership.

Vikram pairs top‑tier credentials with frontline advocacy. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration/Bachelor of Laws (Macquarie University), a Graduate Diploma in Taxation (The University of Sydney), and a Master of Laws in Contract/Construction Law (The University of Melbourne).

Since admission as a solicitor in 2012 and his call to the NSW Bar in 2015, Vikram has built a standout commercial litigation practice. He is especially sought after for property and construction disputes, where clients value his practical strategy, crisp advice, and persuasive courtroom presence.

A recognised voice in the field, Vikram is the author of Security of Payment in the NSW Building & Construction Industry (7th ed, Thomson Reuters, 2025). He also contributes to Thomson Reuters’ Commercial Arbitration Law and Practice across Domestic Arbitration, International Arbitration, Security of Payment (NSW), and Security of Payment (SA).

Vikram’s insights are in high demand. He regularly presents for The Law Society of NSW, the College of Law, Legalwise Seminars, BenchTV, and CPD for Me, and contributes to Legalwise Seminars on caveats, practice and procedure, building and construction, and arbitration and mediation (the latter co‑authored with Sydney Jacobs).

Committed to shaping the next generation of practitioners, Vikram teaches Building Law as a casual academic at Western Sydney University and has previously marked contract law examinations for the University of Sydney Law Extension Committee.

He appears in all state and federal courts and at NCAT, and, where appropriate, accepts direct access briefs.

Vikram is a member of the Accessibility Panel of the NSW Bar Association.

Vikram works out of Clarence Chambers: St James Centre, Level 13, 111 Elizabeth Street, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia Contact: P: (02) 8379 1847 E: counsel@vikrammisra.com

Commercial Damages is a litigation subscription service offering assistance to commercial lawyers acting for clients with damages claims. Developing themes explored in this well-regarded earlier text, Damages in a Commercial Context (LBC Information Services, 2000), It offers a combination of practical guidance and detailed analysis, kept up-to-date as developments as occur.

Injunctions: Law and Practice provides a practical guide to applying for injunctive relief in common situations. The work highlights the general principles in relation to injunctions and details their specific application to particular fact situations. With reference to applicable statutory, equitable and common law principles, the author discusses the procedural, jurisdictional and evidentiary matters required to be addressed in each instance.
