Eleanor Temple

Eleanor Temple has recently featured in The Times 'future stars of the regions' report.  She features with only one other member of the bar which reports as follows;

'Eleanor Temple’s combination of an easygoing personality with a steely professional determination and sharp intellect has seen the 30-year old chancery specialist nicknamed the “smiling assassin” by fellow barristers on the northern circuit. Educated at Ilkley Grammar School and Durham University, where she gained a first in law, Temple joined the Leeds branch of northern commercial heavyweights Kings Chambers in 2000. She “took off like a train and has had
growing numbers of solicitors beating a path to her door ever since,” says her senior clerk, Colin Griffin. Often instructed on cases that would typically go to more senior barristers, Temple recently obtained an injunction preventing 12 customers from presenting winding up petitions against the Bank of Scotland. Last month, she acted in the matter of Leeds United in proceedings against a former director.

She is also passionate about horses and combines her insolvency and corporate recovery practice with a sideline in veterinary negligence cases.'
