Named in memory of the founding chair of the NCBA’s Young Lawyers Division, this distinction recognizes lawyers who have demonstrated notable and commendable service to the profession and the community. Arthur received the award for her leadership in the Young Lawyers Division and her assistance with disaster relief efforts for victims of the tornado that affected Greensboro in 2018.

An associate in the firm’s Litigation Department, Arthur defends municipalities in a variety of disputes in state and federal court as well as employment discrimination and business litigation matters, including breach of contract, breach of noncompetition clauses, Woodson and Pleasant claims and condemnation actions.

Arthur is actively involved in several legal organizations, including the North Carolina Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Division, the Greensboro Bar Association and the Greensboro Young Lawyers Division. In a leadership capacity, Arthur was recently named president-elect of the Greensboro Bar Association and serves as a Division Director on the executive committee of the NCBA Young Lawyers Division. She also previously served as chair of the Greensboro Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Section. As a volunteer with the Lawyer on the Line program, a partnership of the North Carolina Bar Association Foundation and Legal Aid of North Carolina, Arthur has the opportunity to advise legal aid clients who can’t afford proper legal services.

Arthur earned her J.D., with honors, and her B.S. from the University of North Carolina.
