Lawyer Rea Phillips Joins Ascent Employment Law

Ascent Employment Law
August 18, 2025

We are pleased to welcome lawyer Rea Phillips to the Ascent team.

Rea is known for her strategic thinking and compassionate approach, helping both employees and employers navigate challenging legal situations with clarity and confidence. She brings strong litigation experience to her practice, having appeared before the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal, and the Civil Resolution Tribunal. She has represented clients in trials, mediations, and on contested court applications, always with a focus on effective advocacy.

Prior to joining Ascent, Rea practised at both a boutique law firm and one of Western Canada’s largest litigation firms. Her work has spanned a wide range of matters, including insurance defence, personal injury claims such as sexual assault cases, and disputes involving detailed medical and psychological evidence.

Outside of the office, Rea enjoys staying active at the gym, spending time outdoors, and unwinding with a good glass of wine. She is also passionate about yoga, meditation, and health longevity—and has been a lifelong dog lover, ever since her first family dog, Rocco, a 170 lb Great Dane-Mastiff mix.

Rea’s litigation experience and client-focused approach make her a strong addition to the Ascent team. We’re thrilled to have her on board!
