These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the Neutral Ground Partners website located at neutralgroundrp.com (the "Site"). By accessing or using this Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use this Site.

1. About Neutral Ground Partners

Neutral Ground Partners is an HR consulting firm providing services including strategic HR consulting, employment law compliance guidance, workplace investigations, employee relations support, and dispute resolution. We are based in California and serve clients nationwide.

2. Not a Law Firm — No Attorney-Client Relationship

Neutral Ground Partners is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Our services constitute HR consulting — not the practice of law. Nothing on this website, in any consultation, or in any engagement constitutes legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is formed by your use of this Site or your communications with us.

If you require legal advice regarding an employment matter, you should consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction. We are happy to work alongside your legal counsel on HR-related matters.

3. No Client Relationship Without a Signed Agreement

Submitting a contact form, sending an email, or scheduling a consultation does not create a client relationship with Neutral Ground Partners. A formal client relationship is only established upon execution of a written engagement agreement signed by both parties. Until that agreement is in place, we have no obligation to keep any information you share confidential, though we will treat it with discretion.
