Our history
The Legal & General history is a colourful one. In June 1836, six lawyers founded Legal & General. And that’s just the start… Our aim to build a better society has been present for as long as we have. Passionate in the belief that capitalism and social progress are not opposing forces, we took our first step in regenerating Britain’s towns and cities.
We invested £20,000 in the Stockton and Hartlepool Railway to help keep cities moving, and made our very first investment in property development, in Birkenhead. More than 150 years later, our goal to regenerate cities has resulted in us investing £32bn in towns and cities across the UK.
