Yan Liu

Yan Liu is a Barrister and Solicitor in Ontario and the founder of Y. Liu Law Professional Corporation. She is distinguished not only by the breadth of her legal practice, but by a rare creative intelligence that allows her to see legal problems as systems to be redesigned, rather than battles to be fought. Her work sits at the intersection of law, strategy, and human insight.

Yan's practice spans real estate, family law, corporate and commercial matters, estates, and civil litigation, with a particular focus on complex, high-value, and emotionally charged files. Clients seek her out when conventional legal thinking fails—when disputes require imagination, restraint, and a forward-looking strategy that protects both legal rights and human dignity.

A disciplined yet unconventional advocate, Yan believes that the most effective legal solutions are often the quietest ones. She is known for resolving disputes before they harden into litigation, structuring agreements that anticipate future conflict, and guiding clients toward outcomes that courts respect and lives can sustain. When litigation becomes unavoidable, she is a precise and formidable advocate, guided by principle rather than spectacle.

Yan is deeply engaged with the Chinese-Canadian community and frequently advises clients navigating cross-cultural and cross-border legal landscapes. Her work reflects an ability to translate between legal systems, business realities, and human values—bringing clarity where complexity overwhelms.

At the core of Yan's practice is a simple belief: law is not merely a tool for winning disputes, but a framework for shaping better futures. Her clients do not come to her only for answers—they come for perspective.
