About Good Legal
Legal expertise that understands business.
We believe effective legal support should be accessible, practical and aligned with the way businesses actually operate, and that good legal work and fair dealing go together.
Good Legal was founded by Keryn de Vries, an admitted attorney whose career began in IT risk and systems before moving into law. That grounding in technology, together with in-house legal and compliance work for technology companies, shapes how the firm works today: advice that fits how modern businesses actually run.

How we think
Ongoing legal support that’s accessible, predictable and manageable.
Legal help is often reactive and billed by the hour: you call once something has already gone wrong. We work differently. Through outsourced support and monthly retainers, we become an extension of your business, with legal expertise on hand as it grows and changes.
Fairness
We deal fairly with our clients and with the people across the table. Fair advice, predictable fees, and no tactics we wouldn’t want used on us.
Sound law, sensible business
We combine legal knowledge with commercial awareness, so what we deliver is not only legally sound but practical, and makes sense for the business.
Part of your team
You need more than someone who can draft a contract. You need someone who knows your operations, spots risk early and helps management make informed decisions.
Technology and AI
Modern legal support for a changing business world.
The law is changing, and so is the way legal services are delivered. We use appropriate technology and AI-assisted tools to work efficiently, streamline routine steps and keep costs down.
But technology is a tool, not a substitute for professional judgment. Every document, recommendation and contractual position is reviewed by an attorney, against your specific commercial circumstances.
