Cameron Hughes is an associate at Hogan Lovells US LLP in the energy regulatory practice. She advises on matters involving nuclear regulation and the broader energy sector. During law school, she interned with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and served as the Student Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of National Security Law and Policy. Prior to law school she worked in clean energy policy at ClearPath, where she wrote on advanced nuclear and fusion energy policy. Her experience drafting legislation provides a unique insight into the laws affecting the nuclear industry and clean energy deployment.

Cameron’s involvement with the ABA began in her second year of law school when she joined the SEER Nuclear Law Committee as a programs vice chair, a role that she continues to serve in today. Organizing programs provided a launchpad to network with a range of nuclear law professionals and monthly meetings with the committee helped grow her mentorship network in the crucial early stages of her legal career. Both activities taught her the key players and issues in nuclear law, which in turn eased her transition into the industry. 

Outside of her career as an attorney, Cameron maintains an interest in post-Soviet issues. She obtained her undergraduate degree in history and Russian language and literature and completed a Fulbright Fellowship in Kutaisi, Georgia, where she retains personal and professional connections.
