ROBERT PIRIE Obituary

Pirie, Robert S. The partners, attorneys and staff of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP mourn the passing of our former partner Robert Pirie. Bob opened our Boston office as its sole partner in 1973 and played a central role in the office's growth and development in its first decade. A highly respected corporate lawyer, Bob went on to serve as co-chairman and then CEO of Rothschild, Inc., senior managing director of Bear Stearns, vice-chairman of Investment Banking at SG Cowen Securities, and co-founder and head of Pirie Goldsmith & Associates. A memorial service will be held in New York at a later date. We extend our deep condolences to his family.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
