Katarina Jaksic Arthur joined Phillips Ballenger just after graduating from law school in 2021.
Kat’s practice areas include Estate Planning, Business Formation + Planning, Trust Administration, and Premarital Agreements. Kat also handles funding coordination and ongoing LLC + Corporate Maintenance for our clients.
Kat earned her J.D. from the William S. Boyd School of Law at UNLV in May 2021, after transferring from the University of Oregon School of Law to be closer to her family.
Kat brings years of experience in estate planning, having served as a law clerk and legal assistant at a Las Vegas estate planning and probate law firm while pursuing her education. She also held a judicial externship with Probate Commissioner Wesley Yamashita in the 8th Judicial District Court, Las Vegas, NV.
Kat was born in Serbia and was raised in Las Vegas – she loves all of our sunshine! Kat loves to travel – her favorite place – by far – is Greece. Her next dream vacation would be exploring Japan or Switzerland. Away from the office, you can find Kat at a Pilates or Spin class, spending time with her husband and their dogs, Andy + Kodak, or soaking up the sun with her friends + family poolside.
