MODALAW
MOVE WITH THE TIMES
​
Evolution in technology and societal thinking is driving change in our lives, in commerce and the way we do business.
Moda Law is a part of that movement. Moda Law strives to detach itself from the staid approach of providing legal services.
Moda​​​ Law is the legal practice of Neil von Bertouch, specialising in the commercial needs of individuals and small and medium enterprises. It was formed in response to a simple question - how can legal services be done better in a modern world?
To answer this question, Moda Law:
Leverages technology
Is transparent and adaptive on pricing
Is about collaborating with clients
​
Uses plain language
Believes in Climate Change!

ABOUT
​
As a lawyer, I like to get involved in people's business. My practice area is assisting SME's with all of their legal needs; contracting, leasing and service agreements to business structures and corporate governance. I enjoy helping people with their personal affairs; family trusts, wills and private arrangements. Not-for-profits, clubs and associations, I'm here for you too.
​
Before I was a lawyer, I was in banking and I've always been a Springbok fan. Despite all this, I have some charisma and, perhaps, a little style (I made this website after all). Before I get to telling you what I do as a lawyer, let me tell you who I am - out of the suit and tie:
I am a lover of sports, all sports. The younger me would take part in anything; football, rugby, triathlons, running, swimming. The older me keeps at it too, but now it's for fun and fitness: social football, gym and exercise...and the occasional big hike (el Camino in Spain and the PCT in the USA are on my resume).
I read, and I declare here that e-readers have changed my life. Of course I read the classics and the greats, but I can't pass up on good Sci-Fi whenever I find it (recommendations gladly given and received). I also devour news, articles and papers on all things science, space and tech.
Finally, I am incapable of turning down a good adventure - anything that will take me to an exotic corner of the world and send me back with a great story to tell. In fact, it was on my last adventure (a little walk from Canada to Mexico) that I came up with the idea for Moda Law.
