Mr. Fleischer is actively involved in representing Fidelity National Title Group, Inc. and its title insurance underwriter subsidiaries in consumer class actions and regulatory matters throughout the United States and in coverage and claims matters. Mr. Fleischer represented the interests of the successful Chapter 11 plan proponent in In re Marvel Entertainment Group, Inc. which involved several highly-contested corporate governance and intellectual property matters, including the feature film rights to Marvel’s Spider-Man and Blade characters.

Mr. Fleischer was litigation counsel for Travelers in Travelers Ins. Co. v. 633 Third Assocs., in which Travelers sought to set aside and enjoin as fraudulent conveyances certain distributions to the equity partners of a non-recourse borrower. That litigation produced two opinions in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals holding that, notwithstanding broad exculpation language in its loan documents, Travelers had standing to pursue fraudulent conveyance causes of action against the borrower and its partners. Mr. Fleischer graduated in 1968 from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania with a B.S. in Economics and received his J.D. from New York University School of Law in 1972.
