Crowell & Moring Announces Election Day as a Paid Day Off for U.S. Personnel

Firm News | 1 min read | 09.04.20

Washington – September 4, 2020: Crowell & Moring U.S. personnel will have a paid day-off for Election Day on Tuesday, November 3, 2020.

Firm chair Philip T. Inglima announced the decision to the firm on August 21 with the following message:

“So we will take a day off. But not to escape the election; rather, to participate in it. Our Management Board (at the welcomed suggestion of partners Scott Winkelman and Dan Sasse) has determined that this year all US office personnel will have a paid day-off for our Election Day: Tuesday, November 3. The pandemic has visited many challenges upon us, and one of them this year is sure to be the election’s logistics. For those who will vote in person, the day-off will facilitate that effort. For those who seek to volunteer working the polls, or transporting relatives or neighbors to polling stations, it will make that enormously important public service possible. For all of us, it will underscore the importance of being active participants in our democracy. At a time when racial justice issues, voting rights concerns, the pandemic, and economic upheaval are roiling the American people, this election deserves and requires our undivided attention.”

(“Atomic Alchemy”), a leading innovator in radioisotope production. Oklo intends to use this strategic acquisition to establish a more reliable domestic supply chain for high-value radioisotopes critical to healthcare, research, and defense sectors and provides synergies to Oklo’s fuel recycling and nuclear energy businesses. Demand for radioisotopes is expected to increase significantly over the next decade, while global supply struggles to keep pace due to aging reactor infrastructure and a fragmented global supply chain, which at present is dominated by countries outside the United States. Atomic Alchemy intends to be a low-cost U.S. radioisotope producer that can provide a secure and domestic supply of radioisotopes to U.S. companies commercializing innovative radioisotope applications. With its proprietary VIPR® technology, Atomic Alchemy is building the first scalable production facility to provide a reliable, sustainable source of high-value radioisotopes. Using a vertically integrated model and fuel recycling, in partnership with Oklo, Atomic Alchemy is transforming isotope production to address global shortages, support critical applications, and strengthen national security. The core deal team included Samuel Holland Edwards, Jon O’Connell, Justin Lurie, and Ryan Flynn....
