BIOGRAPHY

Mr. Baverez’s practice is focused on privatizations, public-private partnerships, regulatory law, complex transactions and litigation cases. He has extensive experience representing and assisting the French State, governmental bodies and state-owned and private entities in their development, the management of their regulatory environment, their administrative or constitutional litigation and arbitration proceedings. His experience includes:

  • Assisting States, local and regional governmental bodies in their structural development and reform process.
  • Accompanying privatization and restructuring of public assets.
  • Advising private-owned companies in the negotiation and implementation of industrial partnerships and leading related litigation, especially in regulated sectors (energy, transport, telecommunication, defense, banking, insurance).
  • Representing state-owned entities and private companies in litigation relating, among others, to regulatory compliance and cases before administrative and constitutional Courts.

Legal 500 EMEA (2007-2020) highlights Nicolas Baverez in its Administrative and public law category, describing him as a “a highly sought-after adviser” with a “top-notch practice.” Previous editions commented: “Nicolas Baverez is an emblematic figure who manages a unique and sophisticated caseload” ; he is “highly experimented” and a “one-of-a-kind adviser”. Chambers Europe (2008-2016) also noted that Mr. Baverez “is a favourite with public bodies”. Best Lawyers in France (2014-2021) recommends him for Public Law, Administrative Law and Regulatory law while Who’s Who Legal has accordingly consistently listed him in its Administrative litigation category.

Before joining Gibson Dunn in 2004, Mr. Baverez served as a magistrate in the Cour des Comptes. Prior to that, he was a member of staff for the President of the French Parliament and the Director of Communication and Business Development at FIMALAC. He has previously managed the Public Law practice of two Paris law firms.

Admitted to the Paris Bar since 1998, Mr. Baverez graduated from Ecole Nationale d’Administration (ENA) in 1988. He received a PhD in History from University Paris 1 – Panthéon Sorbonne in 1986, he also received a diploma from Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) in 1984, and graduated in Social Sciences from University Paris I – Panthéon-Sorbonne in 1983.
