About Us
B.A., LL.B., C.Arb.

Rodger W. Linka has been practicing law in Saskatchewan since 1978.  His early career began in general practice with an emphasis in criminal prosecutions and defence. Currently, he conducts a private law practice with an emphasis on estate planning and administration including the development of discretionary trusts (Henson trusts). Rodger also has an active commercial law practice involving buying and selling businesses, corporate succession planning and general advising of business clients.  He has a busy real estate practice including residential and commercial real estate, financing, and commercial leasing.

Rodger is actively engaged in advising charitable organizations and non-profit organizations engaged in social housing. He is an advocate of “social enterprise” organizations.  

In 2003, Rodger was contracted by the federal government to act as a senior adjudicator in the Alternate Dispute Resolution project for the resolution of Indian Residential School Claims.  In 2007, all court actions including class actions across Canada were resolved into a Settlement Agreement under which the Independent Assessment Process was created.  In October 2007, Rodger was engaged as the Deputy Chief Adjudicator to work with the Chief Adjudicator in the administration of the resolution of these claims.  In addition to managing his own caseload of claims, Rodger was responsible to supervise the work of sixteen adjudicators and participates in the training of new adjudicators.
