Ruby Simpson

I am a lawyer in our Dispute Resolutions group in Sydney.

As a graduate lawyer in the Sydney office, I have rotated through various practice groups including Competition and Regulatory, Tech Transactions, and am currently in the Dispute Resolutions group. I also gained experience in the Employment and Sports groups during the Bird & Bird Summer Clerkship Program of 2022/2023.

At Bird & Bird, I have assisted with contentious matters across various practice areas, helped tech, gaming and telco clients respond to regulatory investigations by Australian authorities such as the ACCC and ACMA, and prepared advice on telecommunications, radiocommunications, and privacy law issues.

I have a particular interest in sustainability, consumer, and privacy law issues, and enjoy the challenge of advising clients on the application of older Australian statutes to new and emerging technologies.

During my undergraduate studies, I worked as a paralegal for two and a half years at a boutique personal injury firm assisting survivors of historical institutional child abuse.

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.
