Bringing Contracts into the Digital Age

Our intelligent software makes contract review, creation and management easy for legal teams, wherever they work.

Our Story

Summize started with a simple question - how could contracts be made quicker and easier for legal teams?

As a former General Counsel, CEO and Founder Tom Dunlop faced the same issues as many legal teams - contracts are long, complicated, and many of the processes take a lot of time. He believed that there should be an easier and faster way to review, create and manage contracts.
