Founder · Admitted attorney
Keryn de Vries
Keryn started her career in IT risk and systems at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), testing system controls and automating workflows, before moving into law. She has always had an interest in technology, and she helps businesses adopt new technology in a way that stays compliant.
At law firms, she advised clients on POPIA and GDPR compliance, privacy impact assessments, website and e-communications compliance, and the legal questions raised by AI, fintech and other emerging technology.
She then worked in-house, leading legal and compliance for a group of seven technology and innovation companies. There she drafted their contracts, policies and HR documentation, advised executives on risk, and dealt with some of South Africa’s major telecommunications companies. Having worked both for clients and inside a business, she knows what clients need from their lawyers: practical advice that fits how the business runs.
