Geoffrey is a Senior Consultant with Ashurst LLP, a global
law firm headquartered in London and with more than 1,600
partners and lawyers across 30 offices in 20 countries.

Geoffrey is a graduate of Oxford University, and has been
with Ashurst for 37 years. He specialises in work in the
international energy and resources sector, and has extensive
experience of advising on major transactions and projects in
India, as well as in the UK, Europe, Middle East, Africa and
Asia.

In 1994, Geoffrey established Ashurst’s Liaison Office in
India, and he lived in New Delhi with his wife and family
through 1994 and 1995. He subsequently headed up
Ashurst’s India practice for many years, and has always
been closely involved with Ashurst’s India-related work. He
says that his time living in India was “a wonderful, life changing experience- we made many dear friends, and since that time India has played a big part in my life and my
legal practice”.

Geoffrey has authored and edited numerous publications on
energy and resources law, and has for many years been
nominated in independent directories as one of the world’s
leading energy lawyers.

At UKILP we again have an exciting news to share. We are
very honoured to announce that Geoffrey Picton-Turbervill,
of Ashurst have agreed to join our advisory board in the UK.
Geoffrey was among the first few international lawyers who
believed in India and its potentials. In 1994, Geoffrey
established Ashurst’s Liaison Office in India, and he lived in
New Delhi with his wife and family through 1994 and 1995.
He subsequently headed up Ashurst’s India practice for
many years, and has always been closely involved with
Ashurst’s India-related work. It’s such a pleasure to have
Geoffrey in our UK Advisory Board and we look forward to
working with him. Very warm welcome Geoffrey.
