I just read that Robert Legh had sadly passed away. I am so sorry to hear that. Condolences to his family and friends and to everyone at Bowmans.

We were deeply saddened by the news we received last night. Please accept our sincere condolences.

I just read the sad news about Robert Legh.

I very much enjoyed working with Robert and had the impression that he was not only a very good lawyer but someone who was also interested in things beyond law. This must be a big loss for the entire firm.

The obituary captures the character of man that is so rare these days – a true gentleman with the confidence, compassion and tenacity to follow his moral compass. You will all have benefitted from his leadership by example, but I also can imagine the pain and sorrow for the loss. My thoughts are with you.

This is a difficult tribute to write as Rob leaves a legacy too immense to capture in one sitting, the articles and tributes to date are evidence of this. Maya Angelou wrote that “A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again.”  This rings true now, as we realise how many of us have been impacted by this sad loss and how connected we all are. Every life Rob touched in person and through the work he did and influenced, has been changed forever, for the better. 

I am privileged to have worked with him and learn from him at Bowmans, he had an innate ability to make you feel truly heard, always considered in his approach to any situation, a particular sense of humour with a smile that reached his eyes and moves on the dance floor few (definitely not me) could match plus the ability to make everyone feel that they mattered. A great tree has fallen … we have lost a great human, a great lawyer and a true patriot. He will be sorely missed and will always be remembered. May his dear soul rest in peace and my deepest condolences to his family and all at Bowmans. Praying for comfort and strength at this time. 

I just wanted to say I am very sorry to hear of Robert Legh’s passing and that you and the folks at Bowmans are in our thoughts as you go through this time of grief. 

I did not know him personally but have heard great things about the man and lawyer he was. May his legacy continue in your collective words and works.
