Called an “agile thinker” with ability to able to “master complex problems and distill them to their essence in writing and presentation to the court,” Arun has been actively involved in a variety of significant matters for Susman Godfrey.

Leadership, Pro Bono and Civic Work: In 2016, Arun was appointed by the Second Circuit to represent Audra Lynn Harris on her appeal to that jurisdiction that her Fourth and Eighth Amendment rights were violated during a body cavity search while she was incarcerated.
