Bio:
Professor Fleischer joined the Colorado law faculty in 2006. He specializes in tax, venture capital, and the structuring of corporate transactions. He has also taught as an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Illinois, an Acting Professor of Law (tenure-track) at UCLA, a visiting professor of law at Georgetown University, and a Research Fellow in Transactional Studies at Columbia Law School. Before entering academia, Professor Fleischer was an associate at Davis Polk & Wardwell in New York. He clerked for the Honorable M. Blane Michael, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and the Honorable Alex Kozinski, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Professor Fleischer's research focuses on tax planning, regulatory gamesmanship, and the structuring of corporate transactions. His article Two and Twenty: Taxing Partnership Profits in Private Equity Funds, 83 NYU L. Rev. 1 (2008), was discussed in a New York Times editorial and is widely credited with sparking the debate about how to tax carried interest. Recent publications have appeared in the NYU Law Review (twice), Michigan Law Review, and the Tax Law Review (three times). Professor Fleischer has been quoted in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, The New Republic, The New Yorker, and many other media sources.
