Alexander Panayi | Paralegal

I joined HJA as a Housing Paralegal in March 2016. I have previously worked as a paralegal for over 3 years, with almost 2 years specifically in Housing Law.

As a keen advocate I have represented clients via the Court Duty Scheme at Barnet and Clerkenwell & Shoreditch County Courts, the latter of which is through HJA. In addition, I have advocated in other County Courts across London on behalf of both Landlords and Tenants, in bringing and defending possession proceedings.

I run my own case load, to include possession proceedings, homelessness and disrepair. I have also recently joined the Property Disputes team. In particular, I enjoy defending possession proceedings involving section 21 and deposit protection matters.
