Boardman Clark Welcomes Attorneys Joseph Hasler and Maximilian Buckner

Boardman Clark is proud to announce that attorneys Joseph Hasler and Maximilian Buckner, formerly of LaRowe Gerlach LLP in Reedsburg, have joined the firm. With the arrival of Joe and Max, Boardman Clark also announced the opening of a new Reedsburg office.  The firm now maintains offices in Madison, Baraboo, Belleville, Fennimore, Lodi, Poynette, and Reedsburg.

Joe and Max both join Boardman Clark with extensive experience and established practices, particularly in the areas of Real Estate and Land Use.  Joe has unique experience with niche issues related to tourism, recreation and hospitality, short-term rentals, elections, and intergovernment relations. Max represents municipalities, businesses, and individuals, with a focus on general municipal law, municipal prosecutions, litigation, and real estate.

“We are excited for this next chapter in our practices,” Hasler says. “Max and I have developed many valued relationships in Reedsburg and the surrounding communities, and we are looking forward to continuing that work with Boardman Clark, who shares a long history serving the area.”

“Joe and Max are proven attorneys who can provide immediate benefit to the variety of clients we serve,” says Baraboo-based Boardman Clark attorney Jeff Storch. “We are very happy to expand our Sauk County team.”

Wisconsin’s Local Government Response to Hyper Scale Data Centers: An Overview

Municipal Law Newsletter | 08.25.26

Over the past two years, Wisconsin has become a focal point for hyperscale data center development. Projects associated with Microsoft, Meta, OpenAI, Oracle, Vantage, QTS, and other developers have generated billions of dollars in proposed investment and unprecedented demand for electric transmission, water infrastructure, and land development. The rapid pace and scale of these proposals has prompted responses from local governments across the state. As of yet, the responses have not led to a state-wide coordinated legislative approach, in contrast to neighboring states such as Minnesota. Instead, counties, cities, villages, and towns are experimenting with a wide range of regulatory and policy tools as they attempt to balance economic opportunity against concerns about growth, infrastructure, and local control.
