Quarterly Financial Information Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block] | Interim Basis of Reporting The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Legg Mason, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “Legg Mason”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the interim basis of reporting and, as such, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates and the differences could have a material impact on the interim consolidated financial statements. Terms such as “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Company” refer to Legg Mason. The nature of Legg Mason's business is such that the results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of a full year. Certain disclosures included in the Company's annual report are not required to be included on an interim basis in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The Company has condensed or omitted these disclosures. Certain amounts in prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The information contained in the interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained within Legg Mason's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | Significant Accounting Policies Leases Effective April 1, 2019 Legg Mason adopted updated accounting guidance on leases which requires right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities to be recorded on the balance sheet for leases. The guidance specifies that at the inception of a contract, an entity must determine whether the contract is or contains a lease. The contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of the property, plant, or equipment for a designated term in exchange for consideration. Legg Mason’s evaluation of its contracts followed the assessment of whether there was a right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use and the right to direct the use of the identified asset in the contract. Legg Mason adopted the guidance on a modified retrospective basis as of April 1, 2019, such that related amounts in prior periods have not been restated. Legg Mason has operating leases that primarily relate to real property and financing leases that relate to equipment. As a practical expedient, Legg Mason has elected to not capitalize leases with a term of 12 months or less without a purchase option that it is likely to exercise. Also as a practical expedient for disclosure, Legg Mason has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components on operating and financing leases. Lease components are payment items directly attributable to the use of the underlying asset, while non-lease components are explicit elements of a contract not directly related to the use of the underlying asset, including pass through operating expenses like common area maintenance and utilities. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at the present value of the future lease payments over the life of the lease term. As implicit rates for leases are not determinable, the Company uses discount rates based on incremental borrowing rates, on a collateralized basis, for the respective underlying assets, for terms similar to the respective leases. Lease costs are included as Occupancy expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Fixed base payments on operating leases paid directly to the lessor are recorded as lease expense on a straight-line basis. Related variable payments based on usage, changes in an index or market rate are expensed as incurred. Payments on financing leases are recorded as lease expense on a level-yield basis. Upon adoption, Legg Mason recorded ROU assets of $342,418 and lease liabilities of $411,115 related to its real property operating leases and equipment financing leases. As further discussed in Note 8 , Legg Mason has subleased or has vacated and is pursuing subleases for certain office space. As of March 31, 2019, the lease reserve liability for subleased space and vacated space for which subleases are being pursued of $24,063 was included in other current and non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet under prior accounting guidance. Upon adoption of the updated guidance, the existing lease reserve liability was reclassified as a reduction of the ROU assets. ROU assets will be tested for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. The adoption of this guidance did not require a cumulative effect adjustment or have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 8 for additional information. Recent Accounting Developments In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") updated the guidance to clarify accounting for implementation costs incurred for a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The update conforms the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting guidance that provides for capitalization of costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use-software. The updated guidance is effective for Legg Mason in fiscal 2021, unless adopted earlier. Legg Mason is evaluating its adoption. In August 2018, the FASB also updated the guidance for fair value measurements. The updated guidance modifies disclosure requirements based on the revised FASB Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting finalized in August 2018 to improve effectiveness of financial statement disclosures. The updated guidance will be effective in fiscal 2021, unless adopted earlier. Legg Mason is evaluating its adoption. |
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block] | Leases Effective April 1, 2019 Legg Mason adopted updated accounting guidance on leases which requires right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities to be recorded on the balance sheet for leases. The guidance specifies that at the inception of a contract, an entity must determine whether the contract is or contains a lease. The contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of the property, plant, or equipment for a designated term in exchange for consideration. Legg Mason’s evaluation of its contracts followed the assessment of whether there was a right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use and the right to direct the use of the identified asset in the contract. Legg Mason adopted the guidance on a modified retrospective basis as of April 1, 2019, such that related amounts in prior periods have not been restated. Legg Mason has operating leases that primarily relate to real property and financing leases that relate to equipment. As a practical expedient, Legg Mason has elected to not capitalize leases with a term of 12 months or less without a purchase option that it is likely to exercise. Also as a practical expedient for disclosure, Legg Mason has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components on operating and financing leases. Lease components are payment items directly attributable to the use of the underlying asset, while non-lease components are explicit elements of a contract not directly related to the use of the underlying asset, including pass through operating expenses like common area maintenance and utilities. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at the present value of the future lease payments over the life of the lease term. As implicit rates for leases are not determinable, the Company uses discount rates based on incremental borrowing rates, on a collateralized basis, for the respective underlying assets, for terms similar to the respective leases. Lease costs are included as Occupancy expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Fixed base payments on operating leases paid directly to the lessor are recorded as lease expense on a straight-line basis. Related variable payments based on usage, changes in an index or market rate are expensed as incurred. Payments on financing leases are recorded as lease expense on a level-yield basis. Upon adoption, Legg Mason recorded ROU assets of $342,418 and lease liabilities of $411,115 related to its real property operating leases and equipment financing leases. As further discussed in Note 8 , Legg Mason has subleased or has vacated and is pursuing subleases for certain office space. As of March 31, 2019, the lease reserve liability for subleased space and vacated space for which subleases are being pursued of $24,063 was included in other current and non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet under prior accounting guidance. Upon adoption of the updated guidance, the existing lease reserve liability was reclassified as a reduction of the ROU assets. ROU assets will be tested for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. The adoption of this guidance did not require a cumulative effect adjustment or have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 8 for additional information. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | Investments and Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities The disclosures below include details of Legg Mason's financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value and net asset value ("NAV"), excluding the financial assets and financial liabilities of consolidated investment vehicles ("CIVs"). See Note 16 , Variable Interest Entities and Consolidation of Investment Vehicles, for information related to the assets and liabilities of CIVs that are measured at fair value. The fair values of financial assets and (liabilities) of the Company were determined using the following categories of inputs: As of June 30, 2019 Quoted prices in active markets Significant other observable inputs Significant unobservable inputs Investments measured at NAV Total Assets: Cash equivalents (1) $ 352,645 $ 13,598 $ — $ — $ 366,243 Equity investments: (2) Seed capital investments 84,293 31,967 — 2,169 118,429 Investments related to long-term incentive plans 241,766 — — — 241,766 Other investments 13,009 2,098 — — 15,107 Equity method investments: (3) Seed capital investments (4) — — 42,516 11,012 53,528 Investments related to long-term incentive plans (2) — — — 10,466 10,466 Other investments (4) — — 1,222 10,414 11,636 Adjusted cost investments (4) — 70 12,124 — 12,194 Derivative assets (5) 3,221 — — — 3,221 Total $ 694,934 $ 47,733 $ 55,862 $ 34,061 $ 832,590 Liabilities: Contingent consideration liabilities (6) $ — $ — $ (3,625 ) $ — $ (3,625 ) Derivative liabilities (5) (2,848 ) — — — (2,848 ) Total $ (2,848 ) $ — $ (3,625 ) $ — $ (6,473 ) As of March 31, 2019 Quoted prices in active markets Significant other observable inputs Significant unobservable inputs Investments measured at NAV Total Assets: Cash equivalents (1) $ 556,231 $ 20,160 $ — $ — $ 576,391 Equity investments: (2) Seed capital investments 98,276 30,601 1,455 2,183 132,515 Investments related to long-term incentive plans 211,802 — — 211,802 Other investments 19,486 2,142 — — 21,628 Equity method investments: (3) Seed capital investments (4) — — 40,854 10,675 51,529 Investments related to long-term incentive plans (2) — — — 11,184 11,184 Other investments (4) — — 1,218 10,251 11,469 Adjusted cost investments (4) — 74 12,171 — 12,245 Derivative assets (5) 4,183 — — — 4,183 Total $ 889,978 $ 52,977 $ 55,698 $ 34,293 $ 1,032,946 Liabilities: Contingent consideration liabilities (6) $ — $ — $ (1,415 ) $ — $ (1,415 ) Derivative liabilities (5) (7,579 ) — — — (7,579 ) Total $ (7,579 ) $ — $ (1,415 ) $ — $ (8,994 ) (1) Cash investments in actively traded money market funds are classified as Level 1. Cash investments in time deposits and other are measured at amortized cost, which approximates fair value because of the short time between purchase of the instrument and its expected realization and are classified as Level 2. (2) Included in Investment securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. (3) Primarily investments in private equity and real estate funds. These equity method investments are investment companies that primarily record underlying investments at fair value. Therefore, the fair value of these investments is measured using Legg Mason's share of the investee's underlying net income or loss, which is predominately representative of fair value adjustments in the investments held by the equity method investee. Other equity method investments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis of $28,162 and $28,160 as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively, are excluded from the tables above. (4) Included in Other noncurrent assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. (5) See Note 14 . (6) See Note 9 . The net realized and unrealized gains for investment securities classified as equity investments were $10,153 and $477 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The net unrealized gains (losses) relating to equity investments still held as of the reporting date were $1,572 and $(16,877) for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Seed capital investments represent investments made by Legg Mason to fund new investment products and strategies. As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, seed capital investments totaled $216,565 and $227,756 , respectively, with investments in excess of $1,000 in 49 funds and 52 funds, respectively, comprising over 90% of the total at each period end. Seed capital investments presented in the tables above exclude $44,608 and $43,712 , as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively, which is related to Legg Mason's investments in CIVs. See Note 16 for additional information regarding Legg Mason's investments in CIVs. The changes in financial asset and (liabilities) measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are presented in the tables below: Balance as of March 31, 2019 Purchases Sales Redemptions/ Settlements/ Other Transfers Realized and unrealized gains/(losses), net Balance as of June 30, 2019 Assets: Equity investments - seed capital $ 1,455 $ — $ — $ (1,457 ) $ — $ 2 $ — Equity method investments: Seed capital investments 40,854 1,913 — (678 ) — 427 42,516 Other 1,218 — — (13 ) — 17 1,222 Adjusted cost investments 12,171 75 — (125 ) — 3 12,124 $ 55,698 $ 1,988 $ — $ (2,273 ) $ — $ 449 $ 55,862 Liabilities: Contingent consideration liabilities $ (1,415 ) $ (3,389 ) n/a $ — n/a $ 1,179 $ (3,625 ) Balance as of March 31, 2018 Purchases Sales Redemptions/ Settlements/ Other Transfers Realized and unrealized gains/(losses), net Balance as of June 30, 2018 Assets: Equity Investments - seed capital $ 1,242 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 148 $ 1,390 Equity method investments: Seed capital investments 33,725 47 — (228 ) — 438 33,982 Other — 1,150 — — — 1,150 Adjusted cost investments 6,951 4,000 — (2 ) — 1 10,950 $ 41,918 $ 5,197 $ — $ (230 ) $ — $ 587 $ 47,472 Liabilities: Contingent consideration liabilities $ (5,607 ) n/a n/a n/a n/a $ (467 ) $ (6,074 ) Realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded for Level 3 investments are included in Other non-operating income (expense), net, in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The change in unrealized gains for Level 3 investments and liabilities still held at the reporting date was $1,626 and $117 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. As a practical expedient, Legg Mason relies on the NAV of certain investments as their fair value. The NAVs that have been provided by the investees have been derived from the fair values of the underlying investments as of the respective reporting dates. The following table summarizes the nature of these investments and any related liquidation restrictions or other factors which may impact the ultimate value realized: Fair Value Determined Using NAV As of June 30, 2019 Category of Investment Investment Strategy June 30, 2019 March 31, 2019 Unfunded Commitments Remaining Term Funds-of-hedge funds Global macro, fixed income, long/short equity, natural resources, systematic, emerging market, European hedge $ 10,111 (1) $ 9,910 n/a n/a Hedge funds Fixed income - developed market, event driven, fixed income - hedge, relative value arbitrage, European hedge 2,236 1,515 $ — n/a Private equity funds Long/short equity 11,216 (2) 11,636 5,509 Up to 10 years Equity method investments related to long-term incentive plans Alternatives, structured securities, short-dated fixed income 10,466 (2) 11,185 n/a n/a Other Various 32 47 n/a Various Total $ 34,061 $ 34,293 $ 5,509 n/a - not applicable (1) Liquidation restrictions: 21% monthly redemption, 1% quarterly redemption, and 78% are not subject to redemption or are not currently redeemable.

See Note 4 for additional information. Certain of Legg Mason's intangible assets are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and balances related to these assets will fluctuate with changes in the related foreign currency exchange rates. Indefinite-life Intangible Assets and Goodwill In Legg Mason's fiscal 2019 annual impairment test, the assessed fair values of the EnTrust Global indefinite-life fund management contracts asset and trade name asset, and the RARE Infrastructure indefinite-life fund management contracts asset declined below their respective carrying values, and accordingly, were impaired. Should market performance and/or AUM levels of EnTrust Global or RARE Infrastructure decrease in the near term such that cash flow projections deviate from current projections, it is reasonably possible that the assets could become impaired, and the impairment could be a material amount. Legg Mason determined that no triggering events occurred as of June 30, 2019 that would require further impairment testing. Legg Mason’s fiscal 2019 goodwill impairment testing noted the assessed fair value of the Global Asset Management business reporting unit exceeded its related carrying value by 4% . Should market performance and/or AUM levels decrease in the near term such that cash flow projections deviate from current projections, it is reasonably possible that this asset could become impaired, and the impairment could be a material amount. The change in carrying value of goodwill is summarized below: Gross Book Value Accumulated Impairment Net Book Value Balance as of March 31, 2019 $ 3,045,454 $ (1,161,900 ) $ 1,883,554 Impact of excess tax basis amortization (2,741 ) — (2,741 ) Changes in foreign exchange rates and other (4,660 ) — (4,660 ) Business acquisition (1) 20,196 — 20,196 Balance as of June 30, 2019 $ 3,058,249 $ (1,161,900 ) $ 1,896,349 (1) See Note 4 for additional information.

Leases [Abstract] | |
Lessee, Operating Leases [Text Block] | Leases Legg Mason leases over 1,500 square feet of office space with approximately one-third currently subleased to various firms, the majority of which are within the U.S. Office facilities and equipment are leased under various non-cancelable operating leases and certain equipment is also leased under financing leases. Legg Mason's current leases have remaining terms that vary up to 19 years. Certain leases provide for options to extend up to 15 years and/or options to terminate within seven years . As previously disclosed in Note 2 , the lease reserve liability related to our subleased space and vacated space for which subleases are being pursued was $24,063 as of March 31, 2019. Upon adoption of the updated lease accounting guidance on April 1, 2019, the existing Other current and non-current liabilities were reclassified as a reduction of the ROU asset recorded in accordance with the updated guidance.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies As of June 30, 2019 , Legg Mason had commitments to invest $15,257 in limited partnerships that make private investments. These commitments are expected to be outstanding, or funded as required, through the end of their respective investment periods ranging through fiscal 2030. Also, in connection with the acquisition of Clarion Partners in April 2016, Legg Mason committed to provide $100,000 of seed capital to Clarion Partners products. As of June 30, 2019, Legg Mason also had future commitments totaling $102,384 related to multi-year agreements for certain services, of which $38,217 , $29,153 and $16,331 will be due during the remainder of fiscal 2020, and in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022, respectively. The remainder will be due through fiscal 2027. In the normal course of business, Legg Mason enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications, which are not considered financial guarantees by relevant accounting guidance. Legg Mason’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against Legg Mason that have not yet occurred. Legg Mason has been the subject of customer complaints and has also been named as a defendant in various legal actions arising primarily from asset management, securities brokerage, and investment banking activities, including certain class actions, which primarily allege violations of securities laws and seek unspecified damages, which could be substantial. In the normal course of its business, Legg Mason has also received subpoenas and is currently involved in other governmental and industry self-regulatory agency inquiries, investigations and, from time to time, proceedings involving asset management activities. In accordance with guidance for accounting for contingencies, Legg Mason has established provisions for estimated losses from pending complaints, legal actions, investigations and proceedings when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and a reasonable estimate of loss can be made. Legg Mason cannot estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss associated with matters of litigation and other proceedings, including those described above as customer complaints, legal actions, inquiries, proceedings and investigations. The inability to provide a reasonably possible amount or range of losses is not because there is uncertainty as to the ultimate outcome of a matter, but because liability and damage issues have not developed to the point where Legg Mason can conclude that there is both a reasonable possibility of a loss and a meaningful amount or range of possible losses. There are numerous aspects to customer complaints, legal actions, inquiries, proceedings and investigations that prevent Legg Mason from estimating a related amount or range of reasonably possible losses. These aspects include, among other things, the nature of the matters; that significant relevant facts are not known, are uncertain or are in dispute; and that damages sought are not specified, are uncertain, unsupportable or unexplained. In addition, for legal actions, discovery may not yet have started, may not be complete or may not be conclusive, and meaningful settlement discussions may not have occurred. Further, for regulatory matters, investigations may run their course without any clear indication of wrongdoing or fault until their conclusion. In management's opinion, an adequate accrual has been made as of June 30, 2019 , to provide for any probable losses that may arise from matters for which the Company could reasonably estimate an amount. Legg Mason's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected during a period in which probable losses become apparent or a matter is ultimately resolved. In addition, the ultimate costs of litigation-related charges can vary significantly from period-to-period, depending on factors such as market conditions, the size and volume of customer complaints and claims, including class action suits, and recoveries from indemnification, contribution, insurance reimbursement, or reductions in compensation under revenue share arrangements. Noncontrolling Interests Legg Mason may be obligated to settle redeemable noncontrolling interests related to certain affiliates. As of June 30, 2019 , affiliate redeemable noncontrolling interests, excluding amounts related to management equity plans, aggregated $510,593 . In addition, as of June 30, 2019 , the estimated redemption fair value for units under affiliate management equity plans (redeemable and nonredeemable) aggregated $64,704 . See Notes 10 and 13 for additional information regarding affiliate management equity plans and noncontrolling interests, respectively. Contingent Consideration As further discussed in Note 4 , on April 10, 2019, Clarion Partners acquired a majority interest in Gramercy. The transaction included a potential contingent consideration payment of up to $3,767 (using the foreign exchange rate as of June 30, 2019, for the €3,315 potential payment), due on the fifth anniversary of closing upon the achievement of certain financial metrics. As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, contingent consideration liabilities totaling $3,625 and $1,415 , respectively, were included in Other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. |

Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation Legg Mason's stock-based compensation includes restricted stock units, stock options, an employee stock purchase plan, market and performance-based performance shares payable in common stock, affiliate management equity plans and deferred compensation payable in stock. Shares available for issuance under the equity incentive stock plan as of June 30, 2019 , were 6,222 . Options under Legg Mason’s equity incentive stock plans have been granted at prices not less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Options are generally exercisable in equal increments over four years and expire within eight years to 10 years from the date of grant. As further discussed below, the components of Legg Mason's total stock-based compensation expense were as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 Restricted stock and restricted stock units $ 17,634 $ 14,987 Stock options 1,154 1,418 Employee stock purchase plan 254 287 Non-employee director awards 150 — Affiliate management equity plans 1,623 776 Performance share units 3,011 1,610 Employee stock trust 8 7 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 23,834 $ 19,085 Restricted Stock Restricted stock and restricted stock unit transactions are summarized below: Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 Number of Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Value Number of Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Value Unvested shares at March 31 3,045 $ 37.76 3,299 $ 38.09 Granted 1,196 35.50 1,156 39.16 Vested (1,199 ) 38.86 (1,245 ) 39.84 Canceled/forfeited (30 ) 35.79 (27 ) 37.43 Unvested shares at June 30 3,012 $ 36.45 3,183 $ 37.81 Unamortized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards at June 30, 2019, of $89,026 is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. Stock Options Stock option transactions under Legg Mason's equity incentive plans are summarized below: Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Per Share Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Per Share Options outstanding at March 31 4,115 $ 39.05 4,437 $ 38.78 Exercised (311 ) 31.83 (150 ) 33.02 Canceled/forfeited (37 ) 40.63 (30 ) 44.69 Options outstanding at June 30 3,767 $ 39.63 4,257 $ 38.94 At June 30, 2019, options were exercisable for 3,363 shares, with a weighted-average exercise price of $40.19 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 3.5 years. Unamortized compensation cost related to unvested options for 404 shares at June 30, 2019, was $2,010 , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of one year . Affiliate Management Equity Plans In connection with the acquisition of Clarion Partners in April 2016, Legg Mason implemented a management equity plan for Clarion Partners that entitles certain of its key employees to participate in 15% of the future growth, if any, of the Clarion Partners enterprise value (subject to appropriate discounts) subsequent to the date of the grant. As of June 30, 2019 , the estimated aggregate redemption fair value of units under the plan, as if they were currently redeemable, was $11,900 . Effective March 1, 2016, Legg Mason implemented a management equity plan for Royce's key employees. Under the management equity plan, minority equity interests equivalent to a 24.5% interest in the Royce entity have been issued to certain key employees. Equity holders receive quarterly distributions of a portion of Royce's pre-tax income in amounts equal to the percentage of ownership represented by the equity they hold, subject to payment of Legg Mason's revenue share and reasonable expenses. As of June 30, 2019 , the estimated aggregate redemption fair value of units under the plan, as if they were currently redeemable, was $10,700 . On March 31, 2014, Legg Mason implemented a management equity plan and granted units to key employees of its subsidiary ClearBridge Investments, LLC ("ClearBridge") that entitle them to participate in 15% of the future growth, if any, of the ClearBridge enterprise value (subject to appropriate discounts) subsequent to the grant date. Independent valuation determined the aggregate cost of the award to be approximately $16,000 , which was recognized as Compensation and benefits expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) over the related vesting periods through March 2019. Total compensation expense related to the ClearBridge affiliate management equity plan was $1,623 and $776 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019, includes $1,600 related to the modification of the plan to include an in-service put option for current participants, which resulted in an increase in the fair value of the awards. This arrangement provides for one-half of the cost, excluding the amount related to the plan modification, to be absorbed by the ClearBridge incentive pool. As of June 30, 2019 , the estimated aggregate redemption fair value of vested units under the ClearBridge plan, as if they were currently redeemable, was approximately $42,104 . Other As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, non-employee directors held 100 and 81 restricted stock units, respectively, which vest on the grant date and are, therefore, not included in the unvested shares of restricted stock units in the table above. Upon the acquisition of Clarion Partners in April 2016, Legg Mason granted certain key employees of Clarion Partners a total of 716 performance-based Legg Mason restricted share units, which are not included in the unvested shares of restricted stock units in the table above, with an aggregate fair value of $11,121 , which was included in the purchase price. These restricted share units vest upon Clarion Partners achieving a certain level of EBITDA, as defined in the purchase agreement, within a designated period after the closing of the acquisition. In May 2019 and 2018, Legg Mason granted certain executive officers a total of 168 and 163 performance share units, respectively, as part of their fiscal 2019 and 2018 incentive awards with an aggregate value of $ 6,334 and $5,820 , respectively. The vesting of performance share units granted in May 2019 and 2018 and the number of shares payable at vesting are determined based on Legg Mason’s relative total stockholder return and relative organic growth rate of long-term AUM over three-year periods ending March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The recorded grant date fair values per performance share unit of $ 37.63 and $35.67 , respectively, were estimated based on multiple fair value Monte Carlo pricing models. Expense associated with these grants are adjusted for the level of relative organic growth expected to be ultimately achieved. The estimated fair values for the May 2019 grant range from $ 21.63 to $ 45.63 per performance share unit and for the May 2018 grant range from $18.08 to $44.46 per performance share unit. The following assumptions were used in the Monte Carlo pricing models for the May 2019 and 2018 grants: May 2019 May 2018 Expected dividend yield 4.41 % 3.49 % Risk-free interest rate 2.11 % 2.71 % Average expected volatility 23.96 % 26.14 % As further discussed in Note 15 , Legg Mason has initiated a strategic restructuring, which includes approximately $6,300 |

Options to purchase 2,464 and 2,196 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the presumed proceeds from exercising such options, including the related income tax benefits, exceed the average price of the common shares for the period and, therefore, the options are deemed antidilutive. |

The amounts for noncontrolling interests, if reported at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, reflect the total business enterprise value of the combined entity, after appropriate discounts for lack of marketability and control. On May 10, 2019, Legg Mason purchased the 15% equity interest in RARE Infrastructure held by the firm's management team for total consideration of $21,988 . The initial cash payment of $11,967 , which included related dividends in arrears of $1,759 , was paid on May 10, 2019. The remaining balance will be due 50% one year after closing and 50% two years after closing, subject to certain conditions. The $11,440 difference between the fair value of the noncontrolling interest on the settlement date and the total consideration due (excluding dividends in arrears) was recorded as Compensation and benefits in the three months ended June 30, 2019. The $25,708 difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest of $ 34,497 on the settlement date was recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital. This purchase was part of Legg Mason's strategic restructuring, as further discussed in Note 15 , to pursue operational efficiencies between RARE Infrastructure and ClearBridge that will reduce costs and enhance growth opportunities for both of the businesses. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives and Hedging | Derivatives and Hedging Legg Mason uses currency forwards to economically hedge the risk of movements in exchange rates, primarily between the U.S. dollar, British pound, Australian dollar, Singapore dollar, Japanese yen, and euro. All derivative transactions for which Legg Mason has certain legally enforceable rights of setoff are governed by International Swaps and Derivative Association ("ISDA") Master Agreements. For these derivative transactions, Legg Mason has one ISDA Master Agreement with each of the significant counterparties, which covers transactions with that counterparty. Each of the respective ISDA agreements provides for legally enforceable settlement netting and close-out netting between Legg Mason and that counterparty. Other assets recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, were $3,221 and $4,183 , respectively. Other liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, were $2,848 and $7,579 , respectively. Legg Mason also uses market hedges on certain seed capital investments by entering into futures contracts to sell index funds and treasuries that benchmark the hedged seed capital investments and has entered into total return swap arrangements with respect to certain Legg Mason sponsored ETFs, as further discussed below. Legg Mason has not designated any derivatives as hedging instruments for accounting purposes during the periods ended June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019, or June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2019, Legg Mason had open currency forward contracts with aggregate notional amounts totaling $322,793 , and open futures contracts relating to seed capital investments with aggregate notional amounts totaling $114,197 . With the exception of the total return swap arrangements and related futures contracts below, these amounts are representative of the level of non-hedge designation derivative activity throughout the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. As of June 30, 2019, the weighted-average remaining contract terms for currency forward contracts was seven months and for futures contracts relating to seed capital investments was three months . Legg Mason has entered into various total return swap arrangements with financial intermediaries with respect to certain Legg Mason sponsored ETFs, which resulted in investments by each of the financial intermediaries in the respective ETF. Under the terms of each of the total return swap arrangements, Legg Mason receives the related investment gains and losses on the underlying shares of the ETF and pays a floating rate on the value of the underlying shares. Each of the total return swap arrangements allows either party to terminate all or part of the arrangement and provides for automatic termination upon occurrence of certain events. Each financial intermediary counterparty may hedge its total return swap position through an investment in the ETF and the financial intermediaries purchased interests in the related Legg Mason ETF on the date of the transactions. The aggregate notional amount for total return swaps outstanding as of June 30, 2019 was $54,778 , with a weighted-average remaining contract term of six months . The floating rate paid on the value of the underlying securities for all total return swap arrangements outstanding as of June 30, 2019 was three-month LIBOR plus 1.6% . In connection with the total return swap arrangements, Legg Mason executed futures contracts with notional amounts totaling $36,110 as of June 30, 2019 to partially hedge the gains and losses recognized on the total return swaps. These contracts had a weighted-average remaining contract term of two months . As further discussed in Note 16 , the total return swap arrangements create variable interests in the underlying funds for Legg Mason, and, if significant, Legg Mason is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, Legg Mason may consolidate ETF products with significant open total return swap arrangements.

Restructuring [Abstract] | |
Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | 15 . Strategic Restructuring In fiscal 2019, Legg Mason initiated a strategic restructuring to reduce costs. The areas included in the restructuring include corporate and distribution functions, as well as efficiency initiatives at certain smaller affiliates that operate outside of revenue-sharing arrangements. The strategic restructuring is expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2021. This plan involves restructuring costs beginning January 1, 2019, which are primarily comprised of employee termination benefits and retention incentives expensed over identified transition periods. The restructuring costs also include charges for consolidating leased office space and other costs, including professional fees. Legg Mason expects to incur total strategic restructuring costs in the range of $120,000 to $140,000 through March 2021 that are expected to result in future cost savings. Cumulative strategic restructuring costs incurred through June 30, 2019 were $42,250 , including $32,898 incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The table below presents a summary of changes in the restructuring liability from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, and cumulative charges incurred to date: Compensation and benefits Occupancy Other Total Balance as of January 1, 2019 $ — $ — $ — $ — Accrued charges — 2,090 6,504 8,594 Balance as of March 31, 2019 — 2,090 6,504 8,594 Accrued charges 23,464 — 4,204 27,668 Payments — — (2,650 ) (2,650 ) Balance as of June 30, 2019 $ 23,464 $ 2,090 $ 8,058 $ 33,612 Non-cash charges (1) Three months ended March 31, 2019 $ — $ 758 $ — $ 758 Three months ended June 30, 2019 5,230 — — 5,230 Total $ 5,230 $ 758 $ — $ 5,988 Cumulative charges incurred through June 30, 2019 $ 28,694 $ 2,848 $ 10,708 $ 42,250 (1) Includes stock-based compensation expense and accelerated fixed asset depreciation.

Variable Interest Entities and Consolidation of Investment Vehicles [Abstract] | |
Consolidated Investment Vehicles and Other Variable Interest Entities Disclosure [Text Block] | Variable Interest Entities and Consolidated Investment Vehicles In accordance with financial accounting standards, Legg Mason consolidates certain sponsored investment products, some of which are designated as CIVs. As presented in the table below, Legg Mason concluded it was the primary beneficiary of certain VIEs because it held significant financial interests in the funds. In addition, Legg Mason has entered into various total return swap arrangements with financial intermediaries with respect to certain Legg Mason sponsored ETFs. Under the terms of the total return swaps, Legg Mason absorbs all of the related gains and losses on the underlying ETF investments of these financial intermediaries, and therefore has variable interests in ETFs with open total return swap arrangements and, if significant, Legg Mason is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of such ETFs. Because it was determined to be the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, Legg Mason consolidated and designated the following funds as CIVs in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of: June 30, 2019 March 31, 2019 June 30, 2018 Number of Consolidated Funds Legg Mason Investment in Funds (1) Number of Consolidated Funds Legg Mason Investment in Funds (1) Number of Consolidated Funds Legg Mason Investment in Funds (1) Sponsored investment partnerships 2 $ 11,224 2 $ 11,671 2 $ 16,806 Trust structure foreign mutual funds 7 25,966 7 23,005 5 14,315 Employee trust structure funds 1 4,544 2 6,215 2 7,290 ETFs (2) 3 2,874 3 2,821 2 4,183 Total $ 44,608 $ 43,712 $ 42,594 (1) Represents Legg Mason's maximum risk of loss, excluding uncollected advisory fees. (2) Under the total return swap arrangements, Legg Mason receives the related investment gains and losses on investments in three of Legg Mason's ETFs with notional amounts totaling $54,778 as of June 30, 2019. See Note 14 for additional information regarding total return swaps. The assets of these CIVs are primarily comprised of investment securities and currency forward derivatives and the liabilities of these CIVs are primarily comprised of payables for currency forward derivatives and purchased securities.

The assets of these VIEs are primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents and investment securities, and the liabilities are primarily comprised of various expense accruals. These VIEs were not consolidated because Legg Mason does not have both the power to direct significant economic activities of the entity and rights/obligations associated with benefits/losses that could be significant to the entity. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block] | Leases Effective April 1, 2019 Legg Mason adopted updated accounting guidance on leases which requires right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities to be recorded on the balance sheet for leases. The guidance specifies that at the inception of a contract, an entity must determine whether the contract is or contains a lease. The contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of the property, plant, or equipment for a designated term in exchange for consideration. Legg Mason’s evaluation of its contracts followed the assessment of whether there was a right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use and the right to direct the use of the identified asset in the contract. Legg Mason adopted the guidance on a modified retrospective basis as of April 1, 2019, such that related amounts in prior periods have not been restated. Legg Mason has operating leases that primarily relate to real property and financing leases that relate to equipment. As a practical expedient, Legg Mason has elected to not capitalize leases with a term of 12 months or less without a purchase option that it is likely to exercise. Also as a practical expedient for disclosure, Legg Mason has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components on operating and financing leases. Lease components are payment items directly attributable to the use of the underlying asset, while non-lease components are explicit elements of a contract not directly related to the use of the underlying asset, including pass through operating expenses like common area maintenance and utilities. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at the present value of the future lease payments over the life of the lease term. As implicit rates for leases are not determinable, the Company uses discount rates based on incremental borrowing rates, on a collateralized basis, for the respective underlying assets, for terms similar to the respective leases. Lease costs are included as Occupancy expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Fixed base payments on operating leases paid directly to the lessor are recorded as lease expense on a straight-line basis. Related variable payments based on usage, changes in an index or market rate are expensed as incurred. Payments on financing leases are recorded as lease expense on a level-yield basis. Upon adoption, Legg Mason recorded ROU assets of $342,418 and lease liabilities of $411,115 related to its real property operating leases and equipment financing leases. As further discussed in Note 8 , Legg Mason has subleased or has vacated and is pursuing subleases for certain office space. As of March 31, 2019, the lease reserve liability for subleased space and vacated space for which subleases are being pursued of $24,063 was included in other current and non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet under prior accounting guidance. Upon adoption of the updated guidance, the existing lease reserve liability was reclassified as a reduction of the ROU assets. ROU assets will be tested for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. The adoption of this guidance did not require a cumulative effect adjustment or have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 8 for additional information. |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recent Accounting Developments In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") updated the guidance to clarify accounting for implementation costs incurred for a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The update conforms the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting guidance that provides for capitalization of costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use-software. The updated guidance is effective for Legg Mason in fiscal 2021, unless adopted earlier. Legg Mason is evaluating its adoption. In August 2018, the FASB also updated the guidance for fair value measurements. The updated guidance modifies disclosure requirements based on the revised FASB Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting finalized in August 2018 to improve effectiveness of financial statement disclosures. The updated guidance will be effective in fiscal 2021, unless adopted earlier. Legg Mason is evaluating its adoption. |

(2) Included in Investment securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. (3) Primarily investments in private equity and real estate funds. These equity method investments are investment companies that primarily record underlying investments at fair value. Therefore, the fair value of these investments is measured using Legg Mason's share of the investee's underlying net income or loss, which is predominately representative of fair value adjustments in the investments held by the equity method investee. Other equity method investments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis of $28,162 and $28,160 as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively, are excluded from the tables above.
