Mr. Casper has practiced law for nearly 30 years.  He founded Frost Brown Todd's environmental practice in 1989, serving as Practice Group Leader and Department Chair for 20 years. Mr. Casper's national practice has been devoted principally to comprehensive environmental enforcement defense and counseling of numerous manufacturing and service industries, trade associations, lending institutions, hospitals, counties and municipalities. Mr. Casper has experience in virtually all areas of environmental law, plus extensive experience in defending federal and state EPA enforcement actions, environmental citizen suits, criminal prosecutions, and toxic tort litigation. Over the years, he has also done a considerable amount of environmental auditing, counseling, permitting, transactional, and facility siting work. Mr. Casper has long-standing representation of clients in the chemical, foundry, steel, metal finishing, glass, waste management, and pulp and paper industries. Clients find his science and engineering background a considerable asset.

Mr. Casper's practice now encompasses global climate change, renewable/alternative energy sources, and sustainability initiatives. He addressed these topics during a recent European seminar tour on "Doing Business in the United States," making presentations in Great Britain, Germany, and Scotland.
