Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Cox is an experienced legal counsel based in Hasselt with over 17 years in law and 11 years of focused practice advising on environmental and spatial planning, construction and real estate matters. He combines courtroom-honed expertise from his years as an attorney with practical contract drafting and negotiation skills for developers, architects, contractors, governments and activist groups. Independent and conflict-aware, he regularly supports complex projects from land acquisition through masterplanning, aligning legal frameworks with design and commercial realities. Comfortable communicating with large stakeholder groups (including action groups of 300+ members), he translates technically dense regulatory issues into clear, actionable advice. Trained in European and Belgian law with postgraduate real estate credentials from KU Leuven, he brings both academic depth and hands-on project involvement. A self-described “law geek,” he balances rigorous legal precision with a pragmatic focus on getting projects permitted and built.
