Dr Liron Shmilovits

Liron’s research interests lie in private law – primarily contract, torts and legal fictions. His doctoral thesis explored legal fictions in private law and proposed an acceptance test for fictions. Among other topics, Liron has written about the declaratory fiction of judge-made law, the illegality defence in tort, the tort of harassment and no-oral-modification clauses in contract.

Liron has taught Contract, Tort, Legal History and Intellectual Property, and supervised seminar dissertations on Private Law.

Liron has a PhD in Law and an LLM from the University of Cambridge as well as an LLB and a BCom (Bachelor of Commerce) from the University of New South Wales. He is admitted as a solicitor to the Supreme Court of New South Wales and the High Court of Australia. He practised law as a solicitor in Sydney, specialising in intellectual property and commercial law.

Before joining ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ in 2021, Liron was a Fellow of St Catharine’s College, Cambridge; and, before that, a Bye-Fellow at Downing College, Cambridge.
