Washington – January 26, 2022: Crowell & Moring’s International Trade Group has been named a Practice Group of the Year for 2021 by Law360. This marks the fourth year the group has been recognized by the publication with this distinction.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by Law360 with this honor,” said Nicole Janigian Simonian, co-chair of the International Trade Group. “We continue to take pride in the partnerships we have with our clients and the trust they put in us to handle their most important matters.”

In a profile of the group, Law360 noted the firm’s work with Invenergy Renewables “in its ongoing campaign against solar panel duties,” as well as how the firm “steered DuPont through a synthetic roofing imports dispute that risked its access to a $29 billion market.” The publication also highlighted the collaborative nature of the group as a key factor to its success, allowing lawyers from across the firm to come together to offer clients the deepest bench of knowledge and meet their needs.

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.

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....
