Mr. Christian is a seasoned attorney with extensive experience in a variety of practice areas that are critically important to California businesses. As an attorney in private practice for more than a decade, Mr. Christian counseled individuals and businesses in a diverse array of transactional and litigation matters in the areas of real estate, employment, business, commercial, administrative and taxation.

For some time now, lenders and others who negotiate specified contracts primarily in Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese and Korean have been required under California law to provide a written translation of that contract, in the applicable foreign language, to the other contracting party prior to the time of signing. The requirement to provide such a translation arose from the legislature’s recognition that due to inalterable demographic shifts, English is no longer the primary language of a sizeable and growing segment of the California population.

Second, the bill requires the delivery of a statutorily prescribed foreign language form (to be developed jointly by the Department of Corporations and the Department of Financial Institutions) to the contracting party whenever a supervised financial organization negotiates a loan or extension of credit secured by residential real property primarily in Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese or Korean. The form must be delivered to the borrower no later than three (3) business days after receipt of a written application.
