About

Shawn Tidwell

A commercial title attorney who has spent thirty years on the same side of the table as the people who close the deals — and started Title in a Minute to share what those years taught him, one issue at a time.

Shawn is VP & Counsel and Director of National Sales for Fidelity National Title Group's Atlanta National Commercial Services. He has been a licensed Georgia attorney since 1993, with a career built on large commercial closings across the Southeast — multifamily, industrial, office, retail, and the data-center and energy work now reshaping the region.

The throughline of that work is unglamorous and decisive: deals go smoothly when the title issues are understood early and explained plainly. A buyer who knows what an exception means doesn't panic over it. A lender who understands an endorsement asks for the right one. Counsel who sees a survey problem coming has time to cure it.

Title in a Minute is that habit, made public. It takes the explanations Shawn has given a thousand times — at the closing table, on the phone, in a CLE — and puts them where the next attorney or lender can find them in sixty seconds.

Why a minute

Because the people who need this don't have an hour. They have a deal in front of them and a question they'd rather not call three people to answer. A minute is long enough to be genuinely useful and short enough to actually watch — which is the only length that compounds week after week.

Views expressed in Title in a Minute are Shawn's own and offered for general education. They are not legal advice and not necessarily the positions of Fidelity National Title Group.
