William Haug of Jennings Haug & Cunningham was named a recipient of the Legacy Award, presented by the Arizona Surety Association.
Haug is one of just four recipients to receive the award since its inception in 2007.

Haug, who joined Jennings Haug & Cunningham in 1981, was recognized for his leadership role in establishing and advancing surety and construction law in Arizona. In addition, serving as national bond counsel for a major surety company and overseeing its claims throughout the U.S., earned him this substantial surety industry recognition.
