(1888 PressRelease) The National Law Agency on People in Need and Scarcity honored the firm for its services.

Sullivan Willoughby, a leading, full-service international law firm that is providing extraordinary practice of client service and engagement, leveraging remarkable legal talent across specialties and jurisdictions, is pleased to announce that The National Law Agency on People in Need and Scarcity awarded Sullivan Willoughby the “Extraordinary Achievement Award” at its annual awards ceremony, held in November. The award, the first of this category ever given by The National Law Agency on People in Need and Scarcity, recognizes the cooperation and success between the firm and The National Law Agency on People in Need and Scarcity, which provides proven legal expertise dedicated to help prevent and eliminate homelessness.

While the award recognizes Sullivan Willoughby’s venerable work on behalf of The National Law Agency on People in Need and Scarcity and its clients, two matters that stood out in particular were a win in the Court of Appeals, in which the court ruled that arresting homeless individuals ...
... for sleeping outside when there are no beds available in shelters amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, and a second win in the Court of Appeals, in which the court ruled that a city’s anti-panhandling law was a “content based” restriction on speech, in violation of peoples’ rights.
Sullivan Willoughby and The National Law Agency on People in Need and Scarcity’s Board Members released a joint official statement, declaring: “We are truly honored to receive this recognition. The successes the firm has had on behalf of The National Law Agency on People in Need and Scarcity would not have been possible without close collaboration with the organization’s fantastic lawyers and staff, and come as the result of a lot of hard work and compassion by the team here at Sullivan Willoughby. We look forward to continuing to help those affected by homelessness and poverty through our ongoing relationship with The National Law Agency on People in Need and Scarcity for years to come.”
