Overview

Elizabeth Reid is a labour, employment and human rights lawyer in Vancouver. Clients appreciate Elizabeth’s many years of experience and practical approach as they navigate the complex employment and human rights laws that impact their relationships with their employees.

Elizabeth’s approach starts with prevention. Her focus is creating clear and accessible contracts and policies that can be understood by employees and employers alike. She is a skilled advisor for day-to-day concerns and compliance issues that occur during the employment relationship, and works collaboratively to get results that meet her clients’ needs.

If formal proceedings are necessary, Elizabeth represents clients at all levels of court in British Columbia, as well as in front of provincial and federal human rights and employment standards tribunals. A former judicial law clerk at the British Columbia Court of Appeal, Elizabeth brings valuable insight into the judicial decision-making process to her litigation work.
