His father, Bill Ludwig, is National President of the Australian Workers Union, one of Australia's largest trade unions, and is a powerful figure in the Queensland branch of the Labor Party. Ludwig was educated at the University of Queensland, where he graduated in arts, the Queensland University of Technology, where he graduated in law, and the Australian National University, where he did postgraduate study in law. He was a barrister before entering politics. He was an industrial advocate for the AWU 1988-1999.

He was promoted to Shadow Attorney-General and Manager of Opposition Business in March 2007 following the resignation of Kelvin Thomson. [Grattan, Michelle; et al.
