Technology may be changing the way in-house legal teams and legal professionals carry out their everyday tasks, but it’s the humans behind the tech that are really transforming the way legal professionals operate. This is what we delved into in our recent webinar with In-House Connect.

As part of In-House Connect’s recent webinar series “Humans of Legal Tech”, Summize’s CEO and Founder Tom Dunlop joined IHC’s Shai Menai to discuss the origins and early ideas about Summize.

Throughout the series, Shai is getting to know the humans behind the technology and exploring just when the lightbulb moment happened and how that original idea has progressed into what is a leading, global Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) solution today.

In our episode, you will learn about the humans behind Summize, all via questions such as:

What first got Tom interested in a legal career and why he made the move into legal technology
When did Tom have the brainwave about Summize and how did he get started
Where did the name Summize come from
What problem is Summize ultimately trying to solve and is it solving it?
Which legal departments would benefit from Summize?
