The Story of Briefcase

Two South Africans. One Vision. Making legal work faster, clearer, and more accessible.

Founded on the belief that legal documentation should be accessible to everyone, Briefcase was created to simplify the complex world of legal templates and documents. Our platform empowers individuals and businesses to create professional legal documents with confidence and clarity.

Meet the Founders

Built by people who lived the problem. Designed for teams who want clarity and momentum.

Co-Founder

As a corporate lawyer, I have watched teams lose hours to manual drafting, edits, and chasing signatures. We built Briefcase so busy teams move faster - with clarity, control, and workflows that run themselves. It's legal infrastructure designed for progress, not paperwork.

Co-Founder

I've spent my career engineering products that scale - most notably as an early developer at Syft Analytics, where I helped grow the platform to a $70M acquisition. With Briefcase, I'm applying that same obsession with clarity, speed, and usability to legal workflows - creating one source of truth where collaboration is effortless and progress is always visible.

Together, we're making legal work faster, clearer, and human.
