Partner program

If you’re a legal tech or CLM thought leader, superconnector, legal firm or consultant, apply to become a Summize partner.

Read on to learn more about the different partnership opportunities you could benefit from.

How it works

Referral partner

If you have a network of in-house legal professionals, you can leverage your preferred channels to recommend Summize as a Contract Lifecycle Management solution and make a referral to Summize.

Whether it’s through networking groups, events, social media, forums, or email, if your referral leads to closed revenue, you’ll be rewarded with a generous percentage of the licence value.

Reseller

Just like the referral partner, you’ll promote Summize to your network, but you’ll be involved right through to the point they become a customer. You’ll discuss use cases for CLM with the potential client and you’ll be part of the sales process alongside a dedicated Summize account manager. In return, you’ll get a bigger commission for your efforts.

Content partner

By becoming a content partner, you’ll monetise your legal knowledge by making legal templates available directly to Summize clients, in a technology enabled format. You will create Summize content for specific contract types, for example a Master Services Agreement, Distribution Agreement etc.

All Summize customers will have access to a Playbook Marketplace, where your templates will be available for subscription. You’ll earn a royalty for every subscription.

Why partner with Summize?

When you join our partner program, you’ll be rewarded when you introduce new companies to the Summize approach to Contract Lifecycle Management – all while growing your own personal brand and relationships.

You’ll be recommending a market-disruptive CLM solution that legal and business users love, introducing contacts to the Summize community.

Summize will own the customer implementation and will invoice the customer directly.

We're growing our network of partners looking to generate new revenue streams from the huge potential in CLM. We're looking to connect your contacts with the most user-friendly, business focused solution on the market.
