Hampson And Company

What Hampson And Company does

Hampson and Company is a boutique litigation law firm established in 2010 in George Town, Grand Cayman, by Graham Hampson and Paul Keeble. The firm is led today by Principal M. Paul Keeble (nearly 40 years of insurance-defence experience and former Legal Advisor to the Cayman Islands Medical and Dental Council) and Partner Yvonne Mullen, with co-founder Graham Hampson serving as Consultant and John Connole as Attorney — a four-attorney team. Its core practice areas are Litigation and Dispute Resolution (encompassing insurance defence, medical malpractice defence, and civil/commercial litigation), Family and Divorce, and Wills and Estates, with a distinctive positioning as the only firm in the Cayman Islands specializing exclusively in insurance defence.

The firm serves four primary customer segments: liability insurance carriers and their insureds (with named enterprise clients including Saxon Motor & General, Cayman First, British Caymanian, Guardian General, RoyalStar Assurance, and Caribbean Alliance Insurance), medical professionals facing malpractice claims, corporate/commercial clients in dispute matters, and individuals seeking family-law and estate services. Its revenue model is professional services billed on an hourly, quote-based cadence tied to matter complexity; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is exclusively direct — consultation requests via the firm's website, phone, and email — with no digital intermediation or geographic expansion beyond the Cayman Islands.

Commercially, the firm relies on reputation and referrals within the Cayman legal and insurance community, supplemented by a content-marketing program of legal insights (notably the "Hampsons Insurance Industry Update" series covering legislative changes such as the Grand Court discount-rate adjustment). Key strategic assets include a close working relationship with David Merriott of West Indies Chartered Loss Adjusters and the reputational capital of having secured a landmark precedent in Crawford Adjusters v. Sagicor General (2013), which changed centuries-old common law on malicious prosecution. Hampson and Company is privately held with no external investment, no parent company, and operates solely through its George Town office.
