When Stephen E. O’Day started his legal career in 1979, environmental law was split between environmentalists on one side and business interests on the other. Since then, O’Day has managed to bridge the gap, carving out a career fighting developers and the Georgia Environmental Protection Division while developing a practice serving corporations as the head of Smith, Gambrell & Russell’s six-lawyer environmental group.

O’Day, 57, has been deemed an “environmental hero” by the public interest group Green Law, and last month his firm was honored with the River Guardian Award from the Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper for a decade of pro bono work fighting to keep polluting runoff out of the Chattahoochee and Lake Lanier.
