Ruby Simpson

I am an Associate in our Dispute Resolutions group in Sydney.

Having completed the 2022/23 Summer Clerkship and 2023/24 Graduate Program in the Sydney office, I have rotated through various practice groups including Competition and Regulatory, Tech Transactions, Sport, and Employment before settling in the Dispute Resolutions group at the start of 2025.

At Bird & Bird, I have assisted with contentious matters across various disciplines (such as construction disputes, IT contracts, sports anti-doping) and helped clients respond to regulatory investigations by Australian authorities such as the ACCC, OAIC and ACMA. I have a particular interest in sport, tech, and privacy law issues.

I hold degrees in arts and law, with a major in Italian studies and a minor in Spanish studies. My study of languages, international cultures, and translation allows me to apply a cross-cultural lens to my work and enriches my understanding of and capacity to assist international clients.
