About the Business
Panko Collaborative Law & Mediation is a family law firm committed to transforming how families experience separation, divorce, and co-parenting challenges. Our areas of practice include Collaborative Law, mediation, separation and divorce agreements, parenting arrangements, child and spousal support, property division, adoption, and uncontested divorce. We also offer legal support for guardianship, estate matters, and notarial services. Since opening in 2015, we’ve grown into a dynamic, multidisciplinary team serving clients across Saskatchewan, with offices in Saskatoon and Martensville.
Our work is grounded in the belief that the legal process doesn’t have to cause more harm—it can be a path to resolution and healing. We prioritize custom solutions, child-focused outcomes, and strong communication, empowering clients to maintain control over their future. By focusing on respectful dialogue and long-term well-being, we help families move through some of life’s most difficult transitions with clarity, dignity, and care.
