Liza Khan is a lawyer by profession based in Kuala Lumpur — a formidable figure in Malaysia's legal and corporate landscape who brings a rare dual perspective to everything she writes. She is not only a practicing litigator of 25 years, but also sits as an Independent Non-Executive Director on the boards of public listed companies, having lived the very challenges she describes.
Recognised as one of Asia's leading litigators and named Managing Partner of the Year 2023 by Thomson Reuters Asian Legal Business, her expertise spans capital markets, securities law, corporate governance, ESG, and AI Governance. She chairs the Governance and Ethics Working Group of the National AI Office, Malaysia.
But Liza is more than her credentials. As a woman, wife, divorcee, single mother, and mother of four, she brings a profoundly human perspective to her writing. Her interests in psychology, travel, and lived experience — navigating domestic violence, divorce, and the challenges of a Muslim woman breaking the glass ceiling — inform her fiction: rich, multifaceted stories that resonate far beyond the boardroom.

The boardroom is both a summit and a starting line — where strategy, finance, and human spirit converge, and where the role of a director demands confidence, clarity, and courage. In this essential guide, Liza Khan draws from her own journey to demystify the complex world of corporate governance for directors, founders, and professionals whose expertise lies outside the law.
Through 11 focused, solution-based chapters, it translates legal duties of good faith, loyalty, and care into practical boardroom conduct. It confronts the modern challenges of ESG, DEI, cybersecurity, and AI — and includes a rare, candid chapter on the invisible hurdles faced by women directors in Malaysia. More than a legal guide, it is a companion for personal growth in the boardroom.
