Trudy Knockless, a reporter of Law.com, interviewed Summize’s Founder and CEO Tom Dunlop, about Tom’s Summize journey and creation.
Trudy and Tom go into detail about how Tom first began practicing law and what made him believe there was an alternative to the manual contract and legal processes he encountered on a day to day basis.
Before Tom launched Summize in 2018, he worked as a General Counsel as part of businesses’ in-house legal teams. Many of these businesses were fast-paced and fast-growing, which gave Tom the entrepreneurial bug to start thinking outside the box and pursue his own ideas.
In the interview, Tom reflects on how this entrepreneurial bug reignited his passion for innovation, inspiring him to address the inefficiencies of traditional contract management.
His insights offer valuable lessons on navigating legal expertise and entrepreneurial thinking in today’s fast-paced business landscape.
