“Applied Rationality affects all kind of legal professionals – right now. Rationality and congitive science provide a serious advantage for those who study these fields over those who don’t – it helps us in our personal life as well as in our professional life.”

Philip has over nine months experience working for leading law firms. These professional activities led him through the fields of M&A, capital markets, antitrust, litigation and restructuring – where he became aware of the relevance of behavioral science in the legal field. His legal studies include a semester abroad at Bar-Ilan University, Israel, where he discovered yet other perspectives on behavioral law and economics. At Bucerius Law School, he specialized in tax law. Philip’s interest for cognitive sciences mainly derives from the intricate understanding of the human subconscious he acquired when he underwent training to become a personality coach.
