Fidelity National Will Shut Miami Office, Add 35 Jobs in Irvine

Title insurance concern Fidelity National Finance Inc. said Wednesday it is closing down a Miami document-processing office, which will result in at least 35 more workers at its headquarters here.

Some of those will be hired here and some transferred from Miami, the company said.

The state’s third-largest title-insurance underwriter, Fidelity also plans to close processing centers in New York, Tennessee and Texas--the result of acquiring title companies in those states.

Fidelity, which employs about 300 in Irvine, says it has been hiring briskly as its business improves.
