Commercial Real Estate Lawyer & Founder at REID Legal
📍 Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Sara Reid is the founder of REID Legal, a boutique law firm specializing in sophisticated real estate transactions. After a decade at top firms like Fasken LLP, where she was a partner, she launched her own firm to offer a pragmatic, results-driven approach. She earned her LL. L. , Summa Cum Laude, from the University of Ottawa.

Outside of her legal practice, Sara has a unique ritual of running 5k in every new place she travels. She finds it is a way to connect a memory to a place, turning her training into a collection of experiences. Colleagues and clients describe her as dynamic, knowledgeable, and easy-going even in stressful situations.

Unique fact: Sara advises clients to never assume the numbers on a tax bill are correct, having seen numerous costly errors in municipal assessments and lease pass-throughs.
