Practice Profile: Arun represents both plaintiffs and defendants in high stakes litigation. 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.

• ongoing victories in In re: Libor-based Financial Instruments Antitrust Litigation, where Arun, as co-lead counsel to the OTC plaintiffs, has helped secure over half a billion dollars in settlements,

• a complete jury victory in Tyler, Texas, on behalf of client Globus Medical in a patent infringement case brought by Flexuspine, Inc., a local Tyler company,

• a landmark False Claims Act lawsuit against the Swiss drug manufacturer Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation which settled for over $450 million – the highest award ever given in a whistleblower suit of this nature

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.
