Working with Emily is a delight. She is ever the team player, always thoroughly prepared, fully aware of the commercial and personal realities of a case and how to take matters forward to achieve the best outcomes for clients. Emily is incredibly easy to work with which allows everyone to perform at their best. One of her specialist fields is cohabitation disputes and the fallout of relationship breakdown, an area in which all these skills are of particular importance.

Emily is exceptional at what she does.  Her client care is second to none and she is always on top of her case, considering all aspects to provide pragmatic and sensible advice to her clients.  It is a pleasure to work with Emily on her cases.

Amy Beddis

Barrister, 3PB Chambers

I would like to thank Emily and her colleagues for all their excellent work in helping me through a very difficult time in my life. Emily was extremely professional and very supportive. I felt I definitely had people on my side every step of the way. I am beyond grateful and now I can live my life again. I would highly recommend Emily and Roskilly & Mills to anyone who may need help.

Emily has given my family and I legal guidance through a protracted and difficult set of family related circumstances. She came highly recommended from a family friend. Our initial meeting was in my home. This arrangement was put forward by Emily herself as one of a couple of options for the opening discussion on our situation. With hindsight, I realise the importance of this decision, the familiar environment enabling my son and I to establish from the outset an empathetic connection with the person who was to guide us through the myriad challenges presented by the legal situation we faced. With her extensive knowledge of the law, Emily was able to steer us through the legal stages required to establish our case. Without a doubt, her professional expertise brought order into what seemed to me a chaotic situation and to focus our thought processes on the information required to reach a settlement. Her methodical approach brought reassurance and sense to an otherwise foreign procedure, for which I am grateful. I would happily recommend Emily for the depth of her legal knowledge, for her ability to bring calm reasoning into a situation beset by emotional turmoil and her aptitude to deal with her clients empathetically.

Contentious probate client

Emily Roskilly showed incredible patience, tolerance and steadfastness during a very difficult, long and drawn out cohabitation dispute with a hostile and difficult ex -partner. She was able to stay really calm and steady even when I was feeling very overwhelmed and just consistently pushed forward with what needed doing. Emily has really good listening skills and empathy and shows real expertise in this very fraught cohabitation separation arena. She also always responded promptly and calmly. I was very glad to have her in my camp and felt very supported by her.

Contentious probate client

Emily is a highly experienced litigator in cohabitation disputes as well as probate litigation. Having worked with her in the Court of Appeal I can say that she is a hard worker and delivers excellent client care and first class service. Having been against her on another case, I can say that she is a fierce opponent who fights her client’s case with style and passion.

I have referred a number of clients to Emily over the past few years. Emily is approachable and knowledgeable and her advice is always clear and concise. She builds rapport quickly with her clients. She has a strong reputation for advising unmarried couples, giving robust and sensitive advice and I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Claire Macklin

Separation Coach

I have had the pleasure of working with Emily on a number of cases and have been hugely impressed by her. Not only does she have a really good understanding of the law, but a really good grasp of both practical and tactical issues in cohabitation cases. She has excellent client care skills and is highly effective.

Zoë Saunders

St. John’s Chambers

A heartfelt thank you to Emily Roskilly, and the team at Roskilly Mills, who have supported and guided me through a very difficult separation and the division of assets from my ex-partner. Emily has been empathetic in her approach, understanding my desire to avoid court action where possible and to make sensible decisions that would lead to closure for myself and young children. Emily has also been very clear around costs that can quickly mount up, in a way that has been far more transparent than is my experience of big firms. Emily's thoughtfulness and integrity have been second to none. She explains the legal process clearly and always checks that I've understood and that I am coping. If all legal professionals could act like Emily, and the team at Roskilly Mills, then more clients in my situation, would be able to avoid court action and costly legal fees. Navigating such a personally traumatic time is bewildering and confusing. I'm very grateful Emily was recommended to me by a local barrister. She has made the process far more manageable.

On a personal note, I want to thank Emily not only for the work that she carries out in resolving disputes between unmarried couples and the successful outcomes she achieves, but I wanted thank her for how she personally navigated me through one of the most difficult times in my life. I would like to thank Emily for ALWAYS being so respectful towards my version of what I believed to be a successful outcome to my case. Of course, any financial settlements after a separation helps ease the practicalities of being able to ‘move forward’ and rebuild a life you may not have anticipated needing to rebuild prior to being apart from your partner, however; for me at least, my goal was to simply win my independence back. My version of ‘independence’ consisted of being free from a highly intense, abusive and controlling relationship and gain the ability, and the means, to rebuild my business. I wanted the opportunity to be able to work hard again and have a safe place to live. Emily enabled me to get exactly what I wanted and more importantly, exactly what I needed. Working with Emily allowed me to feel safe again. I knew that whilst I may have been preoccupied with working through the emotional side of my separation, Emily was 100% focused working on protecting me and my interests through a system that made me feel nervous and that I did not understand. Having access to the level of professionalism, tactical knowledge and expertise that Emily has was incredibly valuable to me and gave me the enormous boost of confidence when I needed it most. In short…… I’m glad she was on my side!
