Since joining Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP in 1997, Ms. Christian has worked on several significant matters, including litigation relating to the continued viability and/or interpretation and application of long-term power purchase agreements between public utilities and independent power production facilities.

Ms. Christian's legal career began as an associate at the law firm of Rogovin, Huge & Lenzner in Washington from 1985-1988, where she focused on labor litigation as well as corporate transactions and advice.
