How do you turn legal into a true business leadership function?

In this episode of Leadership Lab, we follow the journey of Marc Bauer, Head of Legal, EMEA at argenx.

From his first exposure to law in a small German firm, to building legal teams that drive strategy at Europe’s largest biotech, Marc has made legal his constant—even as his career evolved into broader leadership roles.

He shares practical insights on:
✅ Building legal as a business partner, not a compliance bottleneck
✅ Making smart career pivots—and knowing when to take risks
✅ The cultural differences between European and US biotech leadership
✅ How to own your career development, at every stage
✅ Lessons from moving between big pharma, law firms, and biotech startups

If you’re building your leadership journey in legal, life sciences—or anywhere in between—you’ll find plenty to reflect on here.
