Barnaby Jameson KC appointed DDPP of the Cayman Islands

RLC is pleased to announce that Barnaby Jameson KC has been appointed as new Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions (DDPP) at the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Cayman Islands.

In his senior leadership role, Barnaby will support the DPP in the conduct of serious criminal prosecutions under the Cayman Islands Constitution. His remit includes providing strategic legal counsel to the DPP with oversight of the International Cooperation and Financial Crimes Unit, the Justice Protection & Administration Centre and the Court of Appeals Unit. He will also lead the prosecution of complex and serious offences before both the Grand Court and the Court of Appeal.

In early 2025, Barnaby led the successful prosecution of George Orlando Senior in a high-profile murder trial following the fatal shooting of Divonte Alejandro Hernandez in George Town, Cayman Islands.  Hernandez was shot dead in broad daylight by a masked gunman in front of his 2-year-old daughter.

Heads of Chambers Gillian Jones KC and Tom Forster KC said:

“Barnaby has long been a highly valued member of Chambers and we extend our sincere congratulations on his appointment on behalf of all in Chambers. With a proven track record in prosecuting complex and high-profile cases we know he will bring distinction and leadership to this new role.”

Simon Davis, Director of Public Prosecutions, Cayman Islands said:

“We are delighted to welcome Barnaby Jameson KC to Grand Cayman. His distinguished career and wealth of experience will be a tremendous addition to our team. I look forward to working with him and to the valuable contributions he will bring to the Office.”
