Kris Darmody.
Off the back of its appointment of Mark Bamford as Director of Film and Television, Simpsons Solicitors have bolstered their production services arm with the appointment of Kris Darmody as Senior Lawyer.
Simpsons specialises in media, arts and entertainment services. Darmody will be responsible for driving the firm's film, television and content production services with a strong emphasis on providing legal services to content producers at all stages of the development, production and financing cycle.
Darmody has worked closely with Australian content agency Curated Content and continues to act as Head of Legal and Business Affairs for Flying Bark Productions.
“Kris brings a unique production-focussed experience to the firm’s established media, arts and entertainment practice,” Bamford said.
“I have worked on a number of transactions with Kris over the years. She is able to cut through and identify potential issues early and actively engages in bringing parties together to find quick and effective solutions to close finance. I am excited to have her play a critical role in the growth of the production specialisation of the practice area.”
For her part, Darmody said that “Mark’s perspective and experience, particularly in the finance space, are invaluable resources and his expertise across the media, entertainment, communication and technology sectors is world-class.”
