Fidelity National Cuts 13 Jobs

Title insurer Fidelity National Title Insurance, which last year bought struggling competitor LandAmerica, has since cut 13 jobs across North Carolina.

Fidelity National Title Insurance has kept open the Charlotte, Greensboro and Raleigh offices of LandAmerica Financial Group, which did business in North Carolina mostly as Lawyers Title. But the combined staff of those operations has been cut, to eight, from 21 before the purchase.

Fidelity National Title is a subsidiary of Fidelity National Financial. In December, the parent company bought units from LandAmerica, a title insurer that had filed for bankruptcy in 2008.

Some 1,500 jobs across the country were cut as part of that deal, according to Fidelity National Financial.
