I am so very sorry to hear the news about Rob!  Sending prayers to his family and all of you at the firm.  I can only imagine the loss all are feeling. 

I wanted to say how very sorry we all were to hear the sad news about Rob. He was a great friend of the firm, a wonderful host to us when we visited you and a true professional. Having been in touch with a number of my partners today about Rob, it is clear that all of them have very fond memories of him and held him in high regard.

We were very sorry to hear of the tragic news of the death of Robert Legh.

I met him only a couple of times and he was a lovely man.  He will be a huge loss to the legal fraternity and especially Bowmans.

From all of us in the ENSafrica Nairobi office, we send to you, and all at Bowmans, our deepest condolences and may his soul rest in eternal peace.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you at the tragic time.

This brief message as we have just read about Robert Legh having passed away.

Please be assured of our deepest condolences to his family, his friends and to the whole Bowmans’ family.

This is a tragic loss. We will always remember him as a perfect gentleman and a great leader to your firm.

We write to commiserate with Rob Legh’s family, and with Bowmans, on Rob’s untimely passing yesterday.  Yes, it is your loss, but it is also ours, and we feel it keenly because this is Rob.  Rob who, as Chairman and Senior Partner of Bowmans, embraced the vision of Bowmans as an Africa-wide firm and proselytized the cause.  We liked Rob.  He was calm, thoughtful, completely unassuming and worked hard to establish a relationship of mutual respect, trust, and confidence between our respective firms.  Rob was also the life of the party and although he was a very serious person, and looked the part, he refused to take himself too seriously.  Yinka and I will never forget seeing Rob (Bowmans’ Chairman and Senior Partner!) doing a back spin on the floor, at the tail end of one of the evening dinners (aka: parties) during a Partners Conference a few years ago.  It completely humanised him in our eyes and the partners of Udo Udoma & Belo-Osagie, as well as the firm’s founders, will miss him. 

We pray for the peaceful repose of Rob’s soul and that th​e family, friends, and law firm that he left behind will continue to enjoy good health, prosper, and to move forward in a manner that would have made him proud. 

On behalf of all of us at ENSafrica, we wish to convey our sincere condolences to you and the members of Bowmans on the untimely passing our your Chairman Rob Legh.

Rob was truly an outstanding person who made a great contribution in many spheres of activity and touched the lives of many people.  He was a committed member of the legal fraternity and here too he made a great contribution.

Over and above his many other qualities and virtues he was a truly good human being and a gentleman who had a great social conscience and generosity of spirit.
