Temple Bright

Firm overview:

Temple Bright offers a different proposition to that found at its counterparts, operating a partner-only structure with no delegation to junior lawyers. The team, composed of senior lawyers with backgrounds in the UK’s leading firms, advises on all types of IP and a broad range of technology matters.

Strong across both non-contentious and contentious patent matters, Temple Bright advises on matters including IP strategy, licensing and assignment, and patent infringement.

Team overview:

Temple Bright’s patent capabilities lie within its IP & Technology team, made up of 10 partners. The firm has offices in London and Bristol.

Jeremy Morton and Dan Pearce deliver “pragmatic, commercially-focused advice in a wide variety of contentious and non-contentious situations involving IP”, says an industry peer who recommends the duo.

Morton handles all types of IP litigation and strategic advice, particularly dispute resolution. Morton spent over a decade as a partner at Simmons & Simmons, and has longstanding relationships with clients in the tech, consumer, fashion and entertainment industries, among others.

Pearce has particular expertise in patents and the licensing of IP rights. His practice, which covers both contentious and non-contentious matters, includes freedom-to-operate analyses, enforcement strategies and litigation, as well as technology licensing agreements.
