Biography
Cameron focuses on national security and trade law for both U.S. and foreign clients. Whether answering a client’s questions to mitigate risk and ensure continued growth or helping a client who faces allegations of violating U.S. national security or trade law (in civil and/or criminal contexts), Cameron helps people solve their “trade trouble.” By applying his subject area proficiency, working with the JW National Security and International Trade Team, and plying his advocacy skills honed through contested litigation in multiple courts, Cameron finds solutions to complex trade and national security problems.
Cameron enjoys navigating clients through a myriad of federal entities, including the Department of Treasury – Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC), Department of Homeland Security – U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, Department of Commerce – Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and the United States International Trade Commission (USITC), and the Department of State – Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). His work routinely gives him experience with tariff and sanctions programs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the ongoing changes from recent Presidential Executive Orders.
Cameron also has significant experience litigating in bankruptcy adversary proceedings (trustees, debtors, and creditors), CERCLA Superfund litigation, M&A disputes, business divorce, fraud litigation, wrongful death defense, general commercial litigation (often in the energy space), and major claims title litigation/real property disputes.
Before practicing law, Cameron served students in Houston’s Second and Third Wards as a high school teacher and debate coach with Teach for America and the Houston Independent School District. Cameron, as a two-time national debate champion, led his students to both regional and Texas UIL Debate Championships and assisted 17 of them in obtaining full cost of attendance scholarships at four-year universities.
