Our Team
At Panko Collaborative Law & Mediation, your matter is never handled in isolation. Behind every lawyer or mediator you work with is a coordinated team that shares insight, perspective, and works together to support your matter.
We collaborate internally to ensure you benefit from collective experience—not just one professional’s point of view. This allows us to identify options more thoroughly, anticipate points of conflict earlier, and intervene before issues escalate, and respond effectively as your situation evolves.
This approach is particularly effective in matters involving elevated conflict, complex family dynamics, or evolving circumstances.
A coordinated team allows us to manage complex and high-conflict dynamics with consistency, maintain momentum across your file, and support you with clarity at each stage of the process. This structure is intentional—and necessary for managing the complexity and conflict inherent in family law matters.
Behind the scenes, your matter is supported by shared systems, internal collaboration, and disciplined processes designed to produce clear, durable agreements and reduce unnecessary escalation—and maintain forward progress even when circumstances become difficult.
Our team includes seven lawyers, experienced mediators, and a dedicated support staff, all working together at the Historic CPR Station in Saskatoon—where we work for families’ futures.

A Coordinated, Multidisciplinary Approach
Our team is structured intentionally to support complex family law matters, and the same coordinated approach can also be applied to other legal and conflict-related matters where clarity, structure, and managed process are essential.
Lawyers, mediators, and client support professionals each play a defined role in your file—addressing legal strategy, managing negotiation and process, and ensuring communication remains clear and consistent throughout.
This coordination allows us to respond to challenges as they arise, manage high-conflict dynamics with greater stability, and maintain momentum across your matter.
Mediation is integrated into how our firm operates. Our mediators contribute at both the leadership and matter level, shaping how matters are structured, managed, and resolved. Combined with a dedicated client experience team, this creates a more coordinated and supported process from start to finish.
This model is designed for family law—but not limited to it. The same coordinated approach can be applied to a range of legal and conflict-related matters where clarity, structure, and managed process are essential.
If you are dealing with a legal issue or dispute and are unsure of the right path forward, we invite you to connect with our team or book a discovery call to determine whether this approach is the right fit for your situation.
Our model is a deliberate system designed to manage complexity, reduce unnecessary escalation, and support durable outcomes.
