Dollar Tree announced a leadership transition in its legal department, with John S. Mitchell, Jr. set to assume the role of Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary on August 11, 2025. Mitchell, who previously served as Senior Deputy General Counsel since 2021, replaces Jonathan B. Leiken, who will remain with the company until August 22 to facilitate the transition. The shift follows the recent divestiture of the Family Dollar business, a strategic move aimed at streamlining operations and focusing on core value propositions.

CEO Mike Creedon highlighted Mitchell’s extensive legal expertise and leadership in navigating corporate transitions. Mitchell’s tenure at Dollar Tree includes roles at Williams Mullen, a law firm, and his academic background from Princeton University and the University of Virginia School of Law. The transition underscores the company’s commitment to internal succession planning amid ongoing strategic repositioning.
