I would like to express my deepest condolences on the passing of Rob Legh. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and the wider Bowmans family!

We were so very sorry to hear the news of Rob’s passing last night. I am sure the messages are pouring in. Please convey our deepest sympathies and condolences on behalf of all your clients to his family. It is a great loss, indeed. May he Rest in Peace.

Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the tragic loss of your Chairman, Rob Legh. He was a fine leader, a good man and an excellent lawyer. We mourn his loss along with you.

It is with tremendous sadness that the ACLP notes the passing of one of our most revered colleagues. An extraordinary lawyer and person, Rob Legh was known to all, and a close friend and mentor to many. Having pioneered the practice of competition law in South Africa as a specialist discipline, his decades-long contribution to our field leaves an enormous legacy. As Chairman and Senior Partner at Bowmans, Rob was equally a respected leader to the profession throughout the continent.

Anyone fortunate enough to have known or worked with Rob will bear testimony to his kindness and collegiality, evenly matched by a keen strategic and legal mind. Rob generously shared his knowledge and experience, quietly captivating any meeting without ego; commanding attention without seeking it. He had a passion for contributing to the growth and development of junior lawyers, many of whom benefited from working alongside Rob on the many high-profile matters he steered.

We mourn this tragic loss alongside Rob’s family, friends and colleagues.

Our sincere condolences to his loved ones and Bowmans staff.

Rosy and I offer our condolences on Rob’s death which we have just heard about. Please convey our condolences to Katherine and Rob’s children and family.
