Cameron Stracher

Cameron Stracher is an American writer and media lawyer. He is a graduate of Harvard Law School and practices media law in New York City. After graduating from Harvard, he worked for one year at the law firm of Covington & Burling in Washington, D.C., and then moved to Iowa City, Iowa, where he received a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing and taught legal writing at the University of Iowa College of Law. Moving to New York City, he then spent five years at CBS, where he specialized in First Amendment litigation and other legal issues facing the media. Until August 2004, he was a partner at the law firm of Levine Sullivan Koch & Schulz in New York City. He later became general counsel of American Media, Inc. In addition to his legal work, he has published six books -- 3 novels and 3 works of nonfiction.

At American Media, Stracher was involved in negotiating a contract with Karen McDougal, the Playboy model who claimed she had an affair with Donald Trump. He later left AMI over a dispute with its CEO, who objected to a provision Stracher inserted in a contract with the source for salacious text messages between Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his then-girlfriend Lauren Sánchez to make it clear the deal was not a "catch and kill."
