TermScout

I’m building a world where contracts close themselves—so businesses can accelerate revenue.

At TermScout, we certify contracts for fairness and risk before they’re sent—no redlines, no delays, just trusted, market-ready agreements that close faster.

This isn’t CLM. It’s not negotiation tech. It’s a new operating system for business trust—a speed layer for go-to-market teams, and the missing link between sales velocity and legal integrity.

AI gives you scale. Certification gives you trust. Together, they grow your business.

Vice President & CEO of CounselLink CLM (formerly Parley Pro) (NYSE: RELX)

Hey there! I’m Olga, and my path here wasn’t exactly linear. If you’re looking for the kind of CEO bio that starts with “I’ve always known I’d…” well, this isn’t it.

Where It All Began

My journey began in Ukraine, where I dreamed of creating beautiful things. As a kid, I thought art school would be my next big step. But life had other plans—I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area at 13, a place I call “Candy Land” for its endless opportunities. Here, I discovered that tech can be beautiful, functional, and a powerful tool for change. That discovery shaped everything I do today.

The Spark

Today, I live and breathe at the intersection of law, technology, and impact. As a CEO, I’ve led a legal tech startup (which I sold to LexisNexis) and advised Fortune 100 companies and leading tech companies on how to innovate safely and law better. I’ve been privileged to work as a General Counsel, guiding companies through IPOs, acquisitions, and complex investigations. And along the way, I’ve taught at Berkeley Law, researched at Stanford Law, prosecuted cases as a San Francisco DA, written books, spoken at top conferences, and advocated for a future where law serves people—not just systems.

Why I’m Here

In a world that sometimes feels complicated and opaque, I believe we can make law simpler, fairer, and more accessible. The rule of law should be like electricity—there to support all of us without being cumbersome or costly.

My Mission

⚖️ Make Law Accessible – Using technology, we can make law a service for all. It doesn’t need to be expensive or intimidating. It can be clear, helpful, and humane.

🖼️ Design for Understanding – Legal concepts shouldn’t be a mystery. Through design and practical visuals, I want to make law a universal language everyone can understand.

💻 Modernize the Law – The legal system shouldn’t run like a clunky, outdated machine. With new tech, we can make it responsive, resilient, and built for the world we live in now.

Join Me on This Journey

Law doesn’t have to be a dated circuit board—it can be as simple and intuitive as flipping a switch. It can be empowering, fair, and even beautiful. If you’re ready to challenge how we law, let’s connect.
