In particular, he distinguished himself as a defender of those accused of “political offenses” – participants of the UMO, OUN, KPWU, Komsomol of Western Ukraine. At the same time, K. Pankivskyi was actively involved in the work of the Chamber of lawyers and the Union of Ukrainian Lawyers in Lviv. During his work, he gained a good reputation among colleagues (including Jews and Poles) and clients and was considered one of the best Ukrainian lawyers in Eastern Halychyna (together with S. Shukhevych, S. Fedak, V. Starosolskyi). The prolonged legal practice in the 1930-ies created the personal and public foundation that enabled K. Pankivskyi to prove himself as a public and political figure during the difficult years of the World War II and the post-war period.
