Disclaimer

Last updated: 11 July 2026

This disclaimer governs your use of the Zhan Associates website (www.zhanassociates.co.uk) and the information it contains. Please read it carefully. By using the website, you accept this disclaimer in full. If you do not accept it, please do not use the website.

Zhan Associates is the trading name of Zhan Enterprises Ltd, company number 11849088, registered in England and Wales.

We are not a law firm

Zhan Associates is a specialist workplace defence consultancy. We provide workplace advocacy, procedural support, and representation at disciplinary, grievance, and appeal hearings, including as a chosen companion under Section 10 of the Employment Relations Act 1999.

We are not a firm of solicitors, we are not barristers, and we do not hold ourselves out as either. We do not provide reserved legal activities and we do not provide legal advice. The services we provide are workplace representation, strategic consultancy, and procedural support. Where a matter requires independent legal advice, we will say so and, where appropriate, suggest that you seek it from a suitably qualified professional.

Information on this website is not advice

The content of this website is provided for general information only. It reflects our understanding of workplace and employment procedure in England and Wales, and of the relevant law and guidance — including the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures and applicable employment legislation — as it stands at the time of writing.

Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice, nor advice on which you should rely in relation to any specific situation. Every case turns on its own facts. General information cannot account for the particular circumstances of your matter, and reading it does not create any client, advisory, or professional relationship between you and Zhan Associates. A working relationship begins only when a free initial consultation has taken place and a written engagement has been agreed and signed.

No guarantee of outcome

Where we describe our services, or the principles that apply to disciplinary and employment matters, we do not promise or guarantee any particular result. No representative can guarantee the outcome of a disciplinary hearing, appeal, or tribunal. Our role is to ensure your case is properly prepared, your procedural rights are protected, and your position is presented with clarity and authority. Any examples, scenarios, or case illustrations on this website are provided to explain how matters are approached; they are illustrative, are not based on identifiable individuals unless expressly stated, and are not a prediction of what will happen in your case.

Accuracy and currency

We take reasonable care to ensure the information on this website is accurate and current at the time of publication. However, the law and official guidance change, and we give no warranty that all content remains complete, accurate, or up to date at the time you read it. We are not liable for any error or omission in the content of this website.

External links

This website may contain links to external websites operated by third parties — for example, official sources such as ACAS or government pages. We provide these links for convenience and information only. We do not control, endorse, or take responsibility for the content of any external website, and following such links is at your own risk.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Zhan Associates excludes all liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the information contained on this website. Nothing in this disclaimer limits or excludes our liability for anything that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

This disclaimer applies to the website and its content only. The terms governing our services, once you engage us, are set out in your Engagement Letter and Authority to Act, and in our Terms of Service.
