Co-director of Levin Center at Wayne Law, Elise Bean, named to international tax policy list
Elise Bean, co-director of the Levin Center at Wayne State University Law School in Detroit, was named to Global Tax 50, a list of 50 people and organizations who most influenced tax policy in 2015.
Each year since 2011, International Tax Review, a publication for tax professionals, has compiled this list of “who’s who of the tax world.”
Others named to the 2015 list include Robert Stack; Speaker of the House Paul Ryan; European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager; and Pascal Saint-Amans, head of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s tax policy center.
In addition to her duties with the Levin Center, in 2015, Bean served as head rapporteur for the Independent Commission for Reform of International Corporate Taxation, a group of leaders from around the world seeking reform of multinational corporate taxation.
In 1985, Bean became counsel to then U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., on the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. She worked for him on three subcommittees, and, in 2003, Levin appointed her as staff director and chief counsel of the committee’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which he chaired. Today, Levin, who retired from the Senate at the beginning of 2015, is chair of the Levin Center at Wayne Law and distinguished legislator in residence for the law school.
Before her retirement from the Senate in 2014, Bean handled a variety of investigations, hearings and legislation, including matters involving offshore tax abuse, money laundering, foreign corruption, unfair credit card practices, abuses involving derivatives and structured finance, and shell companies with hidden owners. Investigations headed by her included inquiries into the 2008 financial crisis and offshore tax avoidance by Apple, Microsoft and Caterpillar.
Bean graduated from Wesleyan University and earned her law degree from the University of Michigan Law School.
