Host Stacy Bratcher
Stacy Bratcher is a general counsel who has spent most of her career in-house in healthcare and higher education. Feeling isolated after a pandemic move from Los Angeles to the lovely beach community of Santa Barbara, she started a podcast to connect with other in-house attorneys. With a passion for professional development, she aims to help lawyers learn, connect and grow their careers with interesting guests from law firms, in-house legal departments, C-suite executives and thought leaders. What started as a professional hobby, has developed into a growing community of lawyers who want to level-up their careers. With listeners in more than 30 countries and 2000+ monthly downloads, The Legal Department is a leading legal podcast. She’s inspired each week as new guests share what gets them “pumped up.”
