François BOON
Having gained a Master’s in law from UCL Louvain-la-Neuve and a further Master’s in public international law from Rijksuniversiteit Leiden (Netherlands), François trained in real-estate law in the widest sense - a highly demanding but exciting subject - first as lawyer, then as partner in the firm of Haumont, Scholasse and Partners.
With 15 years experience under his belt and having completed the Executive Programme in Real-Estate at Solvay Business School (Brussels) in 2006, François wanted to deepen and redefine the role of legal advisor. This led to the establishment of 2BUiLD CONSULTING, with the aim of creating a real partnership between private operators and their legal advisors. Besides thorough, high quality legal assistance, the legal assistance provided allows to be more operational, concrete and pragmatic in to meet the requirements of clients, throughout the process of the development of their real estate projects.
Conscious that only a cross-functional and interdisciplinary approach to projects guarantees their success, François lends his expertise to related areas, such as the financial approach, the sociology of other parties, land issues, mobility or even environmental protection.
Amongst the various subjects involved in and which he deals and which encompass real-estate law in the widest sense, planning and environmental law occupies a privileged place. The experience gained in the specific field of commercial urban planning also brings to 2BUiLD CONSULTING expertise which is now recognised in the field of retail developments and the specific planning regulations applied to them.
Since 2004, François has also lectured on building legislation and urban planning at the University of Mons, firstly to engineering students, then from 2010 to students in architecture.
