Chika Igarashi, Partner, Nishimura & Asahi

I would like to express Nishimura & Asahi’s deepest condolence on this untimely passing of Robert. 

Robert has been continuing to have good relationship with our firm’s African Practice Team members.  Indeed, we agree that Robert was a prominent leader and we also miss him very much. With regard to his dedication to tackle COVID-19, we recall that Robert sent us an email notifying the Bowmans’ initiatives (contingency measures) to fight against COVID-19 as early as in March 2020. 

Please accept our heartfelt and deepest condolences for your loss of Robert. Our best wishes to the Bowmans team and your families.

I wanted to say, in particular from the CC Africa team, how saddened we are by this terrible news. You all have been genuine friends and partners in our work on the Continent, and Rob set the tone for that collaboration. His stewardship was always appreciated. In such sad times, one must appreciate and honor what Rob did and what he represented, and carry on his work and vision.
