Attorney, former partner at Paul Weiss, referenced in Epstein legal proceedings
Stephen Susman was a prominent commercial trial attorney who represented Jeffrey Epstein in business litigation matters between 2009-2012, specifically in arbitration against DB Zwirn hedge fund and disputes with Bear Stearns—not in any criminal or sexual abuse cases.
Susman appears prominently in calendar appointments, meeting schedules, and legal retainer documents throughout 2011-2012. The documents show regular meetings between Epstein and Susman at his New York office (560 Lexington Ave, 15th Floor), often coordinated through Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff and attorney Darren Indyke. Multiple documents reference 'Zwirn Litigation Fee Agreement from Steve Susman' and 'Susman Godfrey Invoices for DB Zwirn,' confirming active legal representation in the DB Zwirn arbitration. These are substantive attorney-client interactions, not mass emails or automated correspondence.
Key Highlights
- •Represented Epstein in JAMS arbitration against DB Zwirn hedge fund, which reportedly cost Epstein millions in its 2006 collapse
- •Also handled Bear Stearns litigation involving hedge fund collapse for Epstein between 2009-2012
- •Regular in-person meetings at Susman's Manhattan office throughout 2011-2012, coordinated with Epstein's legal team
- •Stephen Susman (1941-2020) was a legendary trial attorney who founded Susman Godfrey LLP and won over $2 billion in damages across major cases
- •Representation was strictly commercial/business disputes—Susman never represented Epstein in criminal or sexual abuse matters
