Share Lawyers is a Toronto-based law firm that focuses exclusively on disability insurance claims, representing clients from its head office on Yonge Street and describing its practice as covering all of Canada. David and Wendy Share founded the firm in 1987, when it started out offering general legal services before narrowing its focus, first to personal injury and later to disability claims exclusively. The firm's own site says it's been in business for over 40 years and has helped more than 9,000 clients pursue denied benefits.
The firm's work centers on long-term and short-term disability benefit denials, along with related employment law claims such as wrongful dismissal and failure to accommodate, plus other insurance disputes covering life, critical illness, accidental death and dismemberment, and travel medical coverage. It operates on a no-win, no-fee basis with free consultations, so clients don't pay legal fees unless a claim succeeds. David Share, the firm's President and Managing Director, has practiced law since 1985 and was an Adjunct Professor of Law at Osgoode Hall Law School between 2007 and 2019, teaching the Trial Advocacy Course. Co-founder Wendy Share serves as Executive Director, overseeing the firm's marketing, finances, and human resources.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Share Lawyers' head office sits on Yonge Street near Yonge Boulevard, an eleven-minute walk from Lawrence subway station on Line 1. Because the firm represents clients from across the country rather than just the immediate neighbourhood, that subway access matters for people coming into the city for a meeting.
The office has also become part of the block's day-to-day life on a smaller scale. The firm's team has handed out free coffee and treats with Grounded, a coffee bar that opened nearby, and joined the Community Fridge Project that placed food donations in several Toronto neighbourhoods.
