Cameron is the Senior Partner at Carter-Ruck.  He works in the firm's international law practice, specialising in litigation and dispute resolution and regulatory matters involving an international or diplomatic context. His clients include a significant number of governments, heads of state and leading political figures from across the world, as well as commercial entities and individuals requiring specialist advice on international issues. In addition to many years conducting litigation in the High Court in London, Cameron has experience of matters proceeding before the United Nations, the ECJ and the ECHR, and Carter-Ruck's international law group is currently involved in cases that are progressing in the national courts of more than a dozen countries located across the globe, including sanctions-related cases arising out of the events of 9/11. He headed the international team responsible for the investigation into the death of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and in 2014 was the solicitor to the inquiry into the torture and murder of prisoners by the Syrian regime. He also represented the State of Qatar successfully in a recent LCIA arbitration. He advises the Qatar 2022 World Cup Committee and AI Jazeera Media Network for whom he is bringing a Bilateral Investment Treaty claim against Egypt. Twenty six years at Carter-Ruck have given Cameron extensive experience of dealing with the UK and international media and he is able to apply the reputation management expertise he has acquired not merely in pursuing claims directly against the media but also in managing media interest in matters involving other parties.
