September 10, 2026

ATLANTA (September 10, 2026) – Smith, Gambrell & Russell, LLP (“SGR”) is pleased to announce the arrival of Associate Maya Dudley to the firm’s Atlanta office.

Maya Dudley joins the firm’s Construction Practice in Atlanta, where she focuses on energy law and energy transactions, supporting clients through strategic deals and complex commercial matters essential to the development, financing, and successful operation of energy projects.

Prior to joining the firm, Maya was an Associate at a global law firm where she advised owners, developers, sponsors, and subcontractors on the procurement and delivery of large-scale infrastructure projects across the United States, with experience in various alternative delivery methods including public-private partnerships (P3), design-build, and progressive design-build. She has experience drafting, structuring, and negotiating construction agreements in the transportation, water and wastewater, social, and renewable energy sectors. Maya brings a unique blend of legal, public policy, and administrative expertise to complex construction and infrastructure matters.

Construction projects are complex, capital‑intensive, and publicly visible. These factors are compounded by growing demands for infrastructure as well as ever-changing market conditions. In today’s construction environment, project owners and developers need clear, actionable legal advice to inform their decision‑making – on cost, design and development, market shifts, regulations, and more – throughout a project’s lifecycle. At SGR, we know that successful construction projects depend on more than contracts and schedules. They require clear communication, a comprehensive risk management plan, and solutions that keep projects moving forward under changing conditions.
