Courtney 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 practice area. 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 counsel for major life and health insurance companies (including Canada Life, Manulife and OTIP). Courtney's focus and passion is representing disabled plaintiffs who suffer with complex "invisible conditions" like mental health and chronic conditions that are difficult to prove, diagnose and treat. In making the transition from insurance defence to plaintiff-side litigation, Courtney gained valuable experience representing disabled plaintiffs at a busy leading disability law firm in Toronto for several years before founding MK Disability Lawyers (formerly Mulqueen Karyampudi LLP) with a law partner. Now, proudly leading Mulqueen Disability Law, Courtney continues to dedicate herself to proving her client's "invisible disabilities" to insurance companies.
