I just heard about Robs passing. My deepest condolences to his family and the firm. Rob was literally larger than life and played a significant role in not only developing your firm but also the closeness between our firms.

I am so sorry to hear about Rob Legh’s passing. He was a great lawyer, a great friend and partner to Standard Bank, and a thoroughly excellent human being. Please convey my sincere condolences to everyone at Bowmans. I am sure that perpetual light will shine on Rob’s soul and I pray that you will be comforted.

Rob Morson, Partner, Pinsent Mason

We are heartbroken and devastated for Rob’s family and the Bowmans family. So many of us have followed Rob’s path over the past few months hoping for the best. We kept believing, knowing how strong he was.

What a wonderful man. Whether it was leading a team on a complex matter, leading the firm through a new strategy, offering sage guidance, being the strong, courageous, kind face of the firm or his Pumped up Kids on the dancefloor party trick, Rob was unique, inspirational and exemplary.

We share your pain although we can at best only imagine what Kathryn and Rob’s amazing children and all it at Bowmans are going through.

From all of us at Pinsent Masons. and in particular all of us that will always have Bowmans in our veins and Rob in our hearts, we send you our strongest virtual hug. May Rob’s beautiful soul Rest in Peace. We will miss him.
