Ella Paulin
Executive Assistant to Stephanie Pettigrew
ella@marksandworth.co.nzJoined Marks & Worth in July 2024
Ella is Executive Assistant to one of our Directors, Stephanie Pettigrew – managing her emails and diary, making sure she has the necessary information and resources needed to serve our clients and lead our team alongside Sally Peart.
This essential role proactively supports our legal team. She also supports the wider Marks & Worth Team, scheduling appointments, managing correspondence and record keeping, and freeing up our lawyers’ head spaces so they can focus on what matters to you.
Having previously worked in tech, health and tourism, Ella was looking for a role where she’s challenged and growing her skillset in a new industry and loves the Marks & Worth ‘non-traditional’ approach to Law and our people-centric focus.
An avid cookbook collector, Ella regularly returns home from op-shops with her arms laden. Each new find is added to already overflowing bookshelves, which constantly threaten to take over the house, and fuels plans for her ultimate fantasy dinner party. The guest list includes the star-studded line up (why not dream big, we say) of Sir David Attenborough, Florence Nightingale, Heston Blumenthal and Dame Lynley Dodd, of Hairy Maclary fame.
Speaking of reading material… Off duty, Ella can regularly be found curled up at home absorbed in a good book and a cup of tea, while dreaming about escaping somewhere tropical. Or London.
