Oakstead Solicitors regularly handle cases at County Court as well as high value claims at the High Court, the Commercial Court and the Court of Appeal. Civil cases often go through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) or mediation to try and reach settlement at an early stage and avoid costly court action. We recommend ADR or mediation wherever possible, as they are beneficial to both parties and can avoid a great deal of expense and stress. However, sometimes it may not be possible to resolve a matter through ADR or mediation – and in such cases we will take swift action to protect our clients’ interests and offer the best representation for any court action
