Patrick Reed

Born in Toronto, Patrick met his spouse while attending law school at the University of Victoria. Upon graduating, Patrick moved across the country to Newfoundland and Labrador. After articling with the provincial government, he was called to the Newfoundland and Labrador Bar in 2019. After a one-year term as a legal research officer at the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador, Patrick entered private practice, first working for a senior litigator and then a prestigious St. John’s firm. In 2022 he and his spouse returned to BC, moving to her hometown in Kamloops. Patrick was called to the British Columbia Bar in 2022 and is licensed to practice in both provinces. He joined Morelli Chertkow in 2023.

With two young daughters, Patrick doesn’t have much time to himself, but enjoys running and tinkering with his 3D printer. Since moving to Kamloops, Patrick has become active in the Westsyde Community Development Society and is a volunteer with the Lawyers Assistance Program.
