Dr. Christopher Brooks' experience includes working with multi-national organizations in the legal and business industries. He is open to working with companies seeking topic-specific language seminars.
Also a working academic, much of Dr. Brooks' work has been for Germany-based organizations, offering not only language training (Rechtsenglisch/Geschäftsenglish) but also a significant number of German-English and English-German translations. That work has been done for international law firms and companies, academia and the judiciary (e.g. the German Constitutional Court [Bundesverfassungsgericht]). However, he has also worked for a number of other EU and non-EU organizations on legal and business communication solutions.
Dr. Brooks have also aided companies in finding the most beneficial and cost effective solutions to their language training needs. Finding good language training for an organization can be a game of chance without the proper guidance, and it is that guidance that he has been providing organizations for nearly a decade. He is currently the proprietor of The Bill Holland Legal and Business English, LLC, which serves as a medium to execute this know-how.
