Cameron Powell is a lawyer, technology entrepreneur, writer, and coach. Following a B.S. in Business from the University of Colorado, and a J.D. from Harvard Law School, Cameron mastered high-stakes federal litigation and intellectual property at the Department of Justice and Foley & Lardner before embarking on a 23-year crash course in 12 tech startups as a CEO, CMO, and GC who played nearly every role in advancing innovation and building value. Cameron gets tech in a way few lawyers do.
As Head of AI at Holon Law Partners, Cameron now leads the kind of multidisciplinary team of lawyers, technologists, and talent experts that organizations need to truly understand their risks and opportunities from traditional and generative AI. Cameron is also a board advisor to five AI-driven tech companies.
Cameron believes that in any legal matter, the smartest people in the room are the clients, and that to exclude their knowledge, to say nothing of their passion, is one of the most serious mistakes lawyers can make. That’s why his teams, whether solving problems or ideating creative solutions, put the client at their very center, using smart collaborative technologies like generative AI and applying lean and agile methods learned from the world’s most efficient and innovative software-development teams. The result? Better outcomes, more cost-effectively.
Cameron is also passionate about evidence-based storytelling, unearthing just the right facts about people, projects, and organizations to create the most persuasive stories — stories for why his clients should win cases, negotiate better, raise money, attract employees, sell at a profit, or become better known. Cameron writes and speaks on human-centered AI law and ethics as well as end-of-life issues, from palliative care for the body to healing psychedelics for the soul. He’s the author of several books, including Ordinary Magic: Promises I Made My Mother Through Life, Illness, and a Very Long Walk, a love story at the end of life.
Selected additional experience includes:
-Represented 11 successful clients (with no losses) in trials and litigation arising out of the 2020 election that pitted the Voting Rights Act against the First Amendment
-Received the United States Attorney General’s Commendation for successful trial defense of the Clean Air Act in Missouri v. United States
-Coached founders who have raised over one billion dollars
