ABOUT CLAIRE

​

Growing up on a small family farm in Minnesota, Claire understands the importance of having a community of support behind you. She is excited to bring that same collaborative spirit to Wandro, Kanne & Lalor, PC.

Claire began her legal career as a law clerk to the Honorable Anita Shodeen of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Iowa. Her time in chambers provided valuable insight into how complex bankruptcy issues are considered and decided and gave her a strong foundation in the resolution of bankruptcy matters.

Claire joins the firm after several years with the United States Trustee Program, where she litigated bankruptcy matters across Iowa, South Dakota, and Minnesota. Her experience with the USTP provided her with a strong command of the Bankruptcy Code and Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure. Her meticulous preparation and attention to detail have been central to her success as a litigator. By developing a deep understanding of the facts in each case, Claire is able to effectively tailor litigation strategies to her clients’ unique goals.

Outside of her growing practice, Claire is an avid bookworm, enjoys spending time with her family, and is passionate about serving the communities that helped shape her.
