Innovation through diversity

At RBB, our diversity is a core component of our success as global leaders in competition economics. By bringing together a team with a range of backgrounds and experiences, we can approach each challenge with fresh perspectives and novel solutions that reflect the complexities of the real world.

RBB was established in 2002 by Derek Ridyard, Simon Bishop, and Simon Baker, with the goal of creating a brand that outlasts individuals.

In 2007, RBB transitioned to a partnership, emphasising collegiality and sustainable growth by incentivising experienced partners to support colleagues and the firm’s overall development. Derek, Simon, and Simon significantly influenced the field by championing the use of economics in competition cases, solidifying its central role in the industry.

Starting with just 16 people, including the dearly missed Andrea Lofaro, the firm now boasts over 200 Partners and staff. Despite its growth, RBB retains its startup mentality—making swift decisions, fostering seamless communication across offices, and nurturing a passionate, diverse and collaborative work environment.
