About me

Szymon Osmola joined the Law School as a Fellow in 2023. Prior to joining the LSE, he worked at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, Tel Aviv University, where he received the Bloomfield International Post-Doctoral Fellowship. Szymon holds a PhD from the European University Institute (2022). In his doctoral thesis, he developed an original perspective on contract and consumer law, called the reflective choice theory. Szymon's research focuses on the intersection of private law, legal theory and EU law.
