Who is Harry Susman in the Epstein files?

Harry Susman was Jeffrey Epstein's litigation attorney from the elite trial law firm Susman Godfrey LLP. He represented Epstein in multiple complex financial disputes, most notably an arbitration case seeking to recover over $140 million from the failed DB Zwirn hedge fund and litigation related to Bear Stearns investment losses. Harry is a former Supreme Court clerk (Justice Anthony Kennedy) and highly regarded commercial litigator who, along with his father Steve Susman (the firm's founder), handled Epstein's high-stakes financial litigation matters from approximately 2009-2012.

What cases did Harry Susman handle for Jeffrey Epstein?

Harry Susman primarily represented Epstein in litigation over failed hedge fund investments. The main case involved DB Zwirn Special Opportunities Fund, where Epstein had invested $80 million that he claimed had grown to $140 million before the fund collapsed in 2008 due to accounting irregularities and SEC investigation. Susman also handled matters related to FTC v. Bear Stearns involving another failed fund. The documents show extensive legal work including depositions, JAMS arbitration filings, SEC FOIA requests, settlement negotiations, and coordination with other parties like Fortress Investment Group and Highbridge Capital Management.

Was Harry Susman connected to Epstein's criminal cases?

No. Harry Susman's representation was purely in civil commercial litigation related to Epstein's investment losses. The documents show Susman working on financial disputes over hedge fund investments, not criminal defense matters. However, one court document does note that Epstein was granted permission by his probation officer to travel to New York in December 2009 to meet with 'his attorney, Harry Susman,' indicating this was during Epstein's supervised release period following his 2008 Florida conviction.
