Samuel Saltman joined the TALG New York City Office in 2026 as a senior associate. His practice focuses on complex commercial litigation across multiple industries. Sam is licensed to practice in New York and New Jersey and is admitted in multiple federal district and appellate courts, including the Court of Appeals for the Third, Second, and Ninth Circuits.
Prior to joining the firm, Sam practiced complex commercial litigation for thirteen years, earning a unique reputation as a relentless bare-knuckle brawler with impeccable ethical standards. Previous accomplishments include working on a trial team that won the largest jury verdict in Arizona in 2016, co-writing briefs that set favorable precedent in a published opinion by the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, as well as arguing before the Third Circuit in another matter that ended in a favorable precedent-setting published opinion.
At Quinnipiac University School of Law, Sam participated in the Appellate Prosecution Clinic where he wrote the briefs and argued before the Connecticut Appellate Court, obtaining his first favorable published appellate opinion. While in law school Sam also interned at the ACLU of Connecticut, the International Institute of Connecticut, and the Office of the Chief State’s Attorney of Connecticut.
