A regular of The Hollywood Reporter's annual 'Power Lawyers: Top 100 Attorneys' list, Saltzman has been brought on to boost Fieldfisher's cross-border media practice.
“Adding Steve to our media team is a significant boost to our growth plans,” said Tim Johnson, head of Fieldfisher’s media group, noting that Saltzman’s cosmopolitan background and cross border expertise were a natural fit for Fieldfisher’s international focus . “It will strengthen our offering to clients seeking expertise across continents,” Johnson added.
“I have known Tim for a long time, working on initiatives together from both sides of the Atlantic,” added Saltzman. “I am excited to be joining his team at a time when I think there are significant opportunities in the U.K., particularly in a post-Brexit world where the U.K. is now one of the most cost-effective international locations to shoot large-scale feature films and streaming series.”
During a challenging period for dealmaking across hemispheres, Saltzman has continued to assist high-profile international talent and financiers in closing big-ticket business in Hollywood, such as leading Chinese studio Huayi Brothers Media, which co-bankrolled the largest indie film to complete production in 2020, Roland Emmerich’s $140 million. He also recently advised esports team TSM in one of the largest sponsorship deals in the industry with the crypto currency exchange, FTX.
A fluent German speaker, Saltzman also is expected to help grow Fieldfisher’s Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich offices. “I am delighted by Steve’s arrival,” said Philipp Plog, managing director of the firm’s German operations. “His knowledge and experience of the German market is perfectly aligned to our strategy of servicing our growing portfolio of digital and media businesses in Germany and across Europe.
