About the Office

Mission Statement

The Office of the General Counsel (OGC) is responsible for addressing all of the legal issues arising out of the activities of Stanford University, Stanford Hospital and Clinics and Lucile Salter Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford. Led by its Vice President and General Counsel, Debra L. Zumwalt, the office consists of in-house attorneys and support staff partnering with outside law firms.

The mission of the OGC is to educate our Stanford clients as to the laws applicable to Stanford's operations, to solve legal problems and facilitate transactions, and to provide advice and representation to help our clients fulfill their missions and meet their goals.
