George Tsivin, the chief executive officer of Toronto-based legal-tech firm Dye & Durham, is departing the company effective immediately.
According to a press release, the position will be filled for the time being by a sub-committee of the board. The sub-committee will be chaired by chair of the transformation committee Tyler Proud, and it also includes board chair Mary Filippelli and director Angela Zhang.
“We have heard clearly from the market that the company must move with greater discipline, improve execution and restore confidence in the path forward,” Mary Filippelli, chair of the board said in the same release.
“This leadership transition is a necessary step to reinforce the company’s foundation, refocus investment on the flagship products our customers depend on and position those products to drive sustainable growth.”
No specific reason was given for the departure.
Focus on operating discipline during search
Besides finding a new chief executive, the firm’s immediate priorities include maintaining strong operating discipline, deepening focus on customers, and ensuring resources are directed to products and initiatives that create the greatest long-term value, the company said.
This includes supporting the company’s core product franchises, enhancing the customer experience and reinforcing its commitment to cash conversion, cost management and long-term value creation.
Tsivin joined the company in June 2025 after a six-and-a-half-year career at LexisNexis.
“I am excited to be joining Dye & Durham at this pivotal juncture of the company’s development. In the coming months, we will be laser-focused on strengthening our business offerings and refining our strategy to deliver greater value for our customers,” Tsivin said at the time.
Tsivin also served for four years at Nielsen as senior vice-president, chief product officer, and had stints at McKinsey, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, Morgan Stanley, and RAS Systems.
Just one month ago, Tsivin said on LinkedIn that the company was releasing its latest Legal Workflow Platform and Legal Due Diligence and Filing Platform.
In its most recent financial filing, the company reported $91.2 million in revenue and profit of $5.9 million for the first three months of 2026.
