I just wanted to extend our condolences to all from the whole team here at Africa Legal on the passing of Robert Legh. Such a sad thing to hear.

I was very sorry to hear of Rob’s passing. He was a wonderful man. His death is a terrible loss to Bowmans and the profession. My condolences to you and all at Bowmans.

I was so sorry to read about Robert’s death. What a terrible shock for you and for everyone at the firm. May he rest in peace.

We were devastated to hear of the passing of Rob Legh on Thursday evening.  It has been a privilege to work with Rob on various projects over the years, and to observe not only his keen legal and strategic thinking, but also his kind and generous manner.  He has made an immense contribution of his time and his talents in helping to develop the field of competition and industrial policy throughout Africa. 

We can imagine what a fraught time this must have been over the past two months when Rob was so ill, and such a shock to hear of his sudden passing last week.  Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all of his colleagues at Bowmans, and throughout the legal fraternity. 

I’ve just read the devastating news of Rob’s untimely passing.  Please receive my deepest condolences on your loss. 

It is so difficult to find words.  I can only imagine how numb you and your partners must feel.  I did not know Rob well, yet I have always perceived him as a deep, yet pragmatic thinker who had Bowmans’ well-being as his first, second and third professional priority.  I also know that Rob was very respected across South Africa’s communities, legal and beyond. 

Please know that your firm is on a strong foundation for the future not only because, but especially because, Rob was such impressive partner of and leader for your partnership. 

In pace requiescat – may he rest in peace.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Robert Legh.

Robert was a widely respected and leading member of our profession and will no doubt be sorely missed by everybody whose lives he touched in so many ways.

On behalf of the directors of Cheadle Thompson & Haysom, we extend our deepest condolences to Robert’s family, friends and colleagues.
