Harry joined GT Stewart in February 2026 as a Paralegal in the Crime and Extradition team.
Since joining, Harry has been involved in managing and assisting with a diverse range of criminal cases, including fraud matters, large-scale drugs offences, and serious sexual offences. In extradition matters, he has assisted on cases involving requests from both Part 1 and Part 2 countries, as well as appeals before the High Court.
Prior to joining the firm, Harry gained experience in commercial litigation, where he managed complex, multi-track claims. He developed a strong interest in criminal law during his undergraduate studies, an interest that was further shaped through his time at the International Criminal Court.
As a student, he was a committed and accomplished mooter, winning the UK’s oldest and most prestigious national mooting competition and competing at the ICC. He then went on to coach students through national and international mooting competitions.
He also volunteered with the StreetLaw Project, delivering workshops to sixth-form students on their legal rights. This sparked his passion for supporting vulnerable individuals and ensuring that they understand their rights.
Harry is currently undertaking the Bar Course at the Inns of Court College of Advocacy with an Exhibition Scholarship from Inner Temple.

"Harry Charalambous and his dedicated team, Louise and Harry Pell, provided exceptional representation throughout my case, in which I faced a multitude of serious allegations. From the outset, they meticulously explained my options and guided me through every stage of the process. Their expertise and strategic approach ultimately led to my case being dropped before it even reached trial. During such a challenging and uncertain period, it would have been easy to lose hope. However, their unwavering commitment, support, and determination to prove my innocence gave me the confidence to keep fighting and persevere through one of the most difficult times in my life. What truly sets this team apart is their prompt communication, extensive knowledge, and carefully considered legal strategy, all of which contributed to achieving the best possible outcome. Harry Charalambous is a leading figure in criminal law, and I have no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone in need of expert legal representation. I am sincerely grateful for the hard work, dedication, and professionalism shown throughout my case. Thank you to the entire team for always being available to address my concerns and answer any questions I had along the way."
