Linden & Associates is a personal injury litigation firm based in downtown Toronto, with its office in the TD Canada Trust Tower at 161 Bay Street. Founder Justin Linden earned a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School and was called to the Ontario bar in 1997. The firm now has five lawyers who represent people who have been seriously hurt, in matters that range from motor vehicle collisions and medical malpractice to nursing home negligence, long term disability denials, and civil claims arising from sexual assault.
The team's paths to the firm vary. Naphtali Silverman, called to the bar in 2013, has argued matters up to the Ontario Court of Appeal. David Green joined after working at a large national firm that defended insurance companies, municipalities, and hospitals, and won the Ivan Cleveland Rand Prize for constitutional law while at Osgoode Hall. Bill White, called in 2023, articled at another downtown plaintiff side injury firm before joining Linden & Associates, and the newest lawyer, Cole Macfarlane, started as a summer student at the firm before being called in 2025. According to the firm, its lawyers will travel to meet a client at a hospital, home, or workplace anywhere in Ontario, and the firm says it has also acted for clients in matters that reached the United States, Europe, and Israel.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The firm's office sits in the TD Canada Trust Tower at 161 Bay Street, part of the Brookfield Place complex at Bay and Front, which the firm describes as immediately across from Union Station. The tower is joined to its sister building at 181 Bay Street by the Allen Lambert Galleria, a glass atrium designed by Santiago Calatrava, and the complex connects into the PATH, Toronto's underground pedestrian network.
Because the firm's lawyers say they travel to meet clients at a hospital, a home, or a workplace across Ontario rather than the other way around, the Bay Street address works more as a base for that travel and for court appearances than as a walk in storefront for the neighbourhood.
