Attorney Klara Henry’s Practice

Attorney Klara Henry is an associate in Stafford Rosenbaum’s Madison office. She practices environment and land use law and administrative law with a special focus on water and wetlands. Klara has an established history of work and involvement within the environmental law realm. Prior to becoming an attorney, she was a law clerk at Stafford Rosenbaum, assisting with the various projects of the firm’s robust environment and land use practice.

In other clerkship roles, Klara gained valuable experience working on environmental matters, particularly water rights issues and competing water uses in Texas. During the summer after her first year of law school, Klara worked with Bayou City Waterkeeper, an environmental policy nonprofit organization based in Houston, conducting legal research and writing memoranda on NEPA ripeness and mootness issues, the use of Supplemental Environmental Projects to accompany consent decrees, and nature-based solutions to flooding and storm surges along the coastal United States. Throughout law school, Klara was an active participant with the Environmental Law Clinic, working on a Safe Drinking Water Act case as well as assisting with amicus brief preparation for a Clean Air Act case before the Fifth Circuit.

While in law school, Klara served as a staff editor for the Texas Journal on Civil Liberties & Civil Rights, served on the Executive Boards of the Environmental Law Society and the Human Rights Law Society, worked in the Texas Law Admissions Office as a student ambassador for prospective and incoming students, and regularly participated in the Mithoff Pro Bono Program, particularly with the Asylum and Gender Affirmation Projects. She was awarded recognition for her pro bono participation in law school.

Klara is fluent in English, Spanish, and German.

Klara is admitted to practice law in Wisconsin.

Off the Job

Originally from Chicago, Klara has a great love for lakes (especially Lake Michigan!) and is thrilled to be surrounded by Madison’s own Monona and Mendota. Spending time near the water is especially fun when birding is involved, as Klara is an avid birdwatcher, particularly during the spring and fall migrations. When indoors, Klara loves textile crafts, particularly knitting, sewing, and embroidery, as well as painting mini watercolors. While in college, Klara became a certified yoga instructor and is always up for a vinyasa flow class. Visiting every national park in the United States is a lifelong goal for Klara—so far, she has visited 12 parks with her fiancé, with plans to visit the Everglades in early 2025.
