Disability Law

Description
Our founding partner, Courtney Mulqueen, has over 20 years of experience litigating disability claims from both sides of the table. She would be the first to tell you that disability insurance law is all she knows and this would be an accurate reflection of the dedication she has shown to this area of law, from when she was first called to the Bar, to founding MK Disability Lawyers in 2016, and now leading Mulqueen Disability Law.

After graduating from Queen’s University Law School (2000) and articling at a leading insurance defence law firm in Toronto, Courtney spent the following several years acting as in-house litigation counsel for major life and health insurance companies (including Canada Life, Maritime Life, Manulife and OTIP) defending long-term disability claims, critical illness and life insurance claims. Mulqueen Disability Law clients benefit from Courtney’s valuable insights and perspective that can only come from having worked on the “other side”.

Moving from Defence to Plaintiff LTD litigation was an easy transition for Courtney. After starting a family and learning that her mother had been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Courtney sought a role that would allow her to apply her legal training, skills and expertise to help others suffering medically and financially due to hard-to-prove invisible disabilities.

When she is not practicing law, Courtney enjoys going on morning runs with her dog Stella; spending time outdoors rain, snow or shine; and taking impromptu road trips to “anywhere” with her three teenage children.
