'Ainnur Liyana binti Ya'akub does not take ordinary cases. She takes the ones that matter.

As the Founder and Managing Partner of Messrs. Liyana & Co., Puan Liyana has built one of Malaysia's most recognised boutique litigation practices and known for its fearless approach to defamation, civil, and corporate disputes, and its unwavering commitment to securing outcomes, not excuses.

She has secured million-ringgit judgments, defended reputations that were on the line, and stood in courtrooms where others hesitated to go.

Called to the Malaysian Bar on 22 November 2013, Puan Liyana brings over a decade of high-stakes litigation experience to every matter she takes on. Her practice is built on three pillars: strategic precision, relentless preparation, and the kind of empathy that makes clients feel protected from the moment they walk in.

Beyond the courtroom, she is one of Malaysia's most visible legal voices — a sought-after commentator, educator, and trainer who has appeared on TV3, Astro Oasis, IKIM FM, Radio Sinar, and Hawa TV, and delivered legal education across universities nationwide. She is the rare litigator who can translate a High Court judgment into a conversation the public actually understands and act on.

Her academic work runs parallel to her practice — she is currently a PhD Candidate at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), conducting research on the misattribution of online content underthe Malaysian Evidence Act and its intersection with cybercrime. It is research born directly from the cases she sees — and it positions her at the very frontier of Malaysian digital defamation law.

Puan Liyana is also the founder of Alyviate™️, a legal empowerment and business coaching platform for women founders and entrepreneurs, proof that her advocacy extends far beyond the courtroom.

She leads Messrs. Liyana & Co. not just as a lawyer, but as a strategist, a mentor, and an architect of the firm's next chapter.
