Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, Crowell & Moring and Stroock & Stroock & Lavan have joined a growing list of Big Law firms giving their employees paid time off to participate in the 2020 U.S. elections. And other firms are making plans to do the same. 

Whether this movement in Big Law holds for future elections is unclear. Some firm leaders have promised to give paid time off for employees on every presidential Election Day, but several other firms have stayed mum on whether this is only a 2020 firm holiday.
