Graham Hampson was appointed Chairman of the Anti-Corruption Commission on 25 February 2026.
Graham was enrolled as a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales in 1983, and thereafter practiced law for some 40 years, before stepping back from practice in December 2023.
Graham was called to the Cayman Islands Bar in 1987 and as a barrister to the Bar of England and Wales in 1992. he co-founded the law firm of Paget-Brown, Quin and Hampson with Ian Paget-Brown KC and the late Charles Quin KC (later a Judge of the Grand Court). The firm became known as Quin and Hampson in 1995 and subsequently merged with the Channel Islands firm, Mourant Ozannes, in 2006.
From the outset of his career in the Cayman Islands, Graham developed a wide-ranging litigation-based practice. His experience includes appearances before all levels of courts and tribunals in the Cayman Islands, including some matters that proceeded to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London, the ultimate appellate body for the Cayman Islands.
Graham established Hampson and Company in 2010 in partnership with Paul Keeble. He continued to practise there for some 14 years. One of Graham’s most significant cases is that of Crawford v Sagicor (2013 (2) CILR135). The case lasted some eight-years and ended up changing almost 300 years of established common law surrounding the tort of civil malicious prosecution.
Graham is married to Susan Olde OBE.
