> 彼ならそれくらいの事はいいかねない

Translation: He can say such things.

I don’t understand why this なら follows 彼. I’ve seen it more than once too.

What does 彼なら mean?
「～～なら」, all by itself, means "if ~~ is the case", "if it were ~~", etc.
「[彼]{かれ}なら」, therefore, means "if it were him".

「Verb + かねない」 means "capable of (verb)ing", "not scruple to (verb)", etc. As
usual, the verb needs to be put into its [連用形]{れんようけい} ("continuative form").
The 連用形 of 「[言]{い}う」 is「言い」.

> 「[彼]{かれ}ならそれくらいの[事]{こと}はいいかねない。」 =

If you want (or are required) to do a more literal translation, you could use:

" _ **If it were him, he would be capable of saying something like that (or
'as bad as that')**_ "
