Legal & General America is a nationally recognized market leader in the individual life insurance industry and we have plans to keep growing. It will take efforts of smart, capable people who will help us build strong agency relationships and provide the high-touch service our customers deserve.

Legal & General America genuinely cares about families – the families of our customers including business owners who consider their partners family, the multi-generational brokerage agencies that make up our insurance community and the employees who are part of our corporate family.

Our Story Begins More Than 180 Years Ago.

Six lawyers founded Legal & General in June 1836. From the early days in London to our overseas expansion in 1981, our long history of issuing insurance shows how credible and stable we have been through decades of economic change.
