Dr Ula Cartwright-Finch
Dr Ula Cartwright-Finch is a psychological scientist specialising in how legal professionals decide and perform. She holds a PhD in Cognitive Psychology and is a Research Fellow at the University of Warwick. She also lectures on strategic decision-making at Queen Mary University of London's LLM programme.
Ula trained in psychology and neuroscience before spending over a decade in private practice at leading international law firms, working in international arbitration. It was the gap between the two worlds – what psychology knows about how people think and what she saw lawyers doing under pressure – that led her to found Cortex.
Her research has been commissioned by the IBA, the College of Commercial Arbitrators and HKIAC, and published by the ICC.
