Fidelity National Financial of Jacksonville, Florida, is launching a title insurance operation in Salt Lake City under the name Fidelity National Title Agency of Utah LLC. Although the company has operated in Utah for many years, the new operation will have a physical presence in the state.

Joshua Hall has been named to lead the Utah office as president of Fidelity National Title Agency of Utah, overseeing the transition and continued growth of the operation.

“I am excited to represent the Fidelity National title family in Utah and to directly provide commercial and residential services to the real estate community,” Hall said.

“Joining an already strong and expanding team, Hall is bringing years of experience and leadership to help Fidelity National Title’s operations grow and evolve throughout the state of Utah,” a company statement said.

Fidelity National Financial operates throughout the United States with more than 23,000 employees. It writes more title insurance policies that any other U.S. underwriter.
