Camp, is past president of the Washington Foreign Law Society and Friends of the Law Library of Congress, and an Adjunct Professor at George Washington University Law School teaching International Negotiations.Mr. Camp currently serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee of the American Society of International Law.
OPENED HIS OWN LAW FIRM IN OCTOBER 2002
Since opening his own law firm in October 2002, Mr. Camp has been engaged by approximately one thousand Taiwanese to prosecute a declaratory judgment action now being appealed to the United States Supreme Court. He also has been engaged to collect significant sums on behalf of a wealthy individual in Tunisia, a major Kuwaiti bank, and one of the largest Japanese trading companies.
These actions have included recovering significant sums owed to clients by the Governments of Iraq and Iran, and major foreign interests (including
several members of a Middle Eastern ruling family) based in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Netherlands Antilles, and the United States.
ARBITRATION AWARDS
Prior to opening his own law firm, Mr. Camp successfully obtained a significant arbitral award against the Republic of Kazakhstan. The arbitration, prosecuted in Stockholm through the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, involved the Republic of Kazakhstan's illegal expropriation of the rights to develop an oil field in Kazakhstan.
The arbitral award was the first one ever obtained under the bilateral investment treaty between the United States and Kazakhstan. As no formal discovery was permitted in the arbitration, Mr. Camp used his intelligence contacts to obtain the facts and documents necessary to win the arbitration. Likewise, following receipt of the award, Mr. Camp used his intelligence contacts to facilitate payment of the award by Kazakhstan.
Mr. Camp is a graduate of Louisiana State University (1979 B.S. Mathematics); Wake Forest University Law School (1982 J.D.); and George Washington University Law School (1983 LL.M.).
