Her firm has participated in wrongful death inquests, and has been involved in litigation into drug regulation.
Christian has been prominent in left-wing politics, standing as a Socialist Alliance candidate in the 2001 election. Louise Christian has long been associated with human rights' pressure group Liberty and was the Chair from July 2007 until October 2009.
