Now that bankrupt LandAmerica Financial Group Inc., Richmond, Va., has disposed of its title underwriting units, its chairman and chief executive, Theodore L. Chandler Jr., will leave the company on Jan. 15. The company said he leaves on good terms. The title units were 85% of LandAmerica's revenues. LandAmerica is now focusing on disposing of its remaining businesses. To handle that task, the chief restructuring officer, Jonathan Mitchell, will lead the company. Melissa Hill, most recently president of LandAmerica's residential services channel, has been promoted to executive vice president of operations.
