Since articling in 1999 with a national insurer, Kadey has dedicated her career to insurance law, anti-fraud investigations, and complex coverage disputes. As the Founder and Managing Partner of Schultz Law Group LLP, a Toronto-based firm focused on insurance law, fraud investigations, white-collar crime, litigation, and risk management, she works with insurers, self-insured entities, businesses, and other clients to manage risk, investigate and respond to fraud, and resolve complex litigation matters.

She has appeared before the Superior Court of Justice, Divisional Court, Court of Appeal for Ontario, Supreme Court of Canada, FSCO, the Licence Appeal Tribunal, and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal.

Music Heals

Founded by friends in the insurance industry in 2012, Music Heals became a signature fundraising event in support of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy awareness, research, and hope for affected families. For more than a decade, it brought together community leaders, insurance professionals, families, friends, and advocates around a shared purpose, with all proceeds directed to the Biggar Endowment for Muscular Dystrophy at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital.

Schultz Law Group has proudly supported Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital and its annual Capes for Kids campaign since the initiative’s early days. As co-founder of the League of Extraordinary Insurance Women and Friends Capes for Kids team, Kadey helped bring the insurance industry together in support of children and youth with disabilities. To date, Capes for Kids has raised more than $6 million for programs and services that help children, youth, and families access care, resources, recreation, and opportunities to thrive.

Laughter Heals

As a founding sponsor and founding board member of Laughter Heals, Kadey and Schultz Law Group support a Canadian social enterprise that brings people together through comedy, generosity, and purpose. Funds raised through Laughter Heals support charitable causes, including life-changing care, therapy, research, and recreation programs for children and youth with disabilities.
