Sam is an Associate Lawyer at Panko Collaborative Law and Mediation. He enjoys his work with families from across Saskatchewan, helping them shape the future of their families collaboratively. Sam came to Canada 10 years ago, and he felt welcomed in his new home from day one. His experience in Canada inspired him to volunteer with organizations that provide support and services to Saskatchewan residents, such as the Open Door Society of Saskatoon and the Global Gathering Place. 

Sam and his mother used to work together in healthcare back home in Iran. Sam continues to pursue his passion for access to healthcare for Saskatchewan residents through his volunteer work as a board member with Lung Saskatchewan. 

In his spare time, Sam is an avid fantasy fan and reads fantasy novels (the Harry Potter series is his favourite), watches fantasy and magic movies and TV series, and plays fantasy video games.
