Disrupting the CLM Market
Summize takes a deliberately different approach to Contract Lifecycle Management.
Our history
Summize was founded in 2018 by former tech General Counsel Tom Dunlop, and experienced software developer David Smith.
Together, they embarked on a journey to improve the contract process for in-house lawyers with a mission to help everyone understand each other better. Initially starting out as a contract summary solution to instantly extract key metadata from documents, Summize’s capabilities soon expanded to span the end-to-end contract lifecycle, receiving rave reviews from clients due to its intuitive user experience and relentless focus on positive implementation and onboarding.
We continue to innovate and have reported four consecutive years of 100% ARR growth as we expand to meet growing demand.
The Summize difference
In working with hundreds of global companies, we learned that many organisations struggle to gain adoption of platform-based CLM solutions that require complex internal change management and training processes.
Taking a deliberately different approach, the Summize mantra is to unite the legal team with their non-legal colleagues by creating a solution that’s fit for the whole business. To achieve this, we embed processes and automations directly within your existing business software, making it as frictionless and easy to use as possible. Think of Summize as a digital thread that connects the dots through the business, across every interaction with a contract. We refer to this as a decentralised CLM; a visionary approach to putting the end user first.
Our technology is underpinned by AI, but will always have human-centric design at the core and is not designed to replace lawyers.
Our global clients
From FinTech to sports, the Summize global client portfolio spans every industry sector. We typically suit organisations of 50-5,000 employees, with an in-house legal team that has a high volume of work and is looking to make operational efficiencies across the business.
If you work with software including Office365, Gmail, Salesforce, DocuSign, Adobe Sign, Jira or many other popular platforms, we can work with you to seamlessly integrate with Summize.
If you’re a law firm, we offer a partner program based on referrals.
