(Edmonton, AB)—September 29, 2023 – Dealcloser, a transaction management platform that eliminates the soul-crushing manual labor from the workflows of corporate legal professionals, announces today that Jag Dhariwal has been appointed as its Chief Executive Officer.

He is an experienced legal technology veteran and led OLAP Vision, a legal technology software company he co-founded as CEO, through accelerated growth resulting in acquisition by Thomson Reuters. He is also an investor and operating partner with Bryce Catalyst, an investment company of highly recognized software operators with a proven track record of growing software and technology companies.
"In a short period of time, Jag has had a tremendous impact on the business, which naturally
progressed into his role of CEO," says Amir Reshef, cofounder of Dealcloser."I'm very
supportive of Jag as CEO and excited to work alongside him and our investors Bryce Catalyst
and Fernwood Holdings, as we further accelerate our rapid trajectory to market leaders in this space."
"I am excited to take on this role," says Dhariwal. "We continue to remain laser-focused on
providing the best legal technology to the world's largest law firms. I have tremendous respect for what our founders have built. Together, we will continue to lift Dealcloser to new heights and continue our mission to deliver the best in legal technology to our customers, who depend on us to help them do their best work and provide strong value for their clients."
Reshef will continue working closely with Dealcloser’s product development team and
customers, developing more innovative ways to simplifying the deal-closing process unlike any other solution on the market.
Dealcloser has had an exciting couple of years with its announcements of partnerships with
NetDocuments, iManage and DocuSign, as well as its several feature releases of document
automation, signing packages and checklist improvements. Leveraging Dhariwal’s network and expertise, 2023 has been a transformative and banner year for Dealcloser and the momentum will continue well into 2024 and beyond.
