Creating contract clarity for the whole company
About us
We’re a bunch of contract experts, spread across our US and UK headquarters, but working with businesses all over the globe. Our mission is simple - to eliminate contract chaos and create contract clarity for the whole company. How do we do this? With our AI-powered Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) that helps legal and business teams stay aligned and in control. We cut through the contract chaos by embedding smart, intuitive contract workflows across the tools your teams already use. No shelfware, no long implementation projects or complicated training. Just shared visibility, faster turnaround times, fewer surprises and contract clarity for the whole company. We were one of the first CLM solutions to take an embedded integrated approach, so that we could meet businesses in the tools they already know and love - such as Outlook, Gmail, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot and of course Microsoft Word for all your contract reviews. We’re not just known for our embedded, integrated experience, we’re also known for our sprint-based approach to implementation, our standout support and our powerful AI that supports and enhances your tasks with your legal expertise in mind. We’re loved and valued by many businesses around the globe such as Revolut, Miami Heat, Matillion, Huel, IONITY, SHL Medical and SeatGeek, just to name a few. We have strong customer success stories, overwhelmingly positive G2 testimonials, and plenty of Gartner reviews too. We're a growing team making big things happen out of our HQs in Manchester, UK and Boston, US. Take a look at what we have to offer and start creating contract clarity across your whole company.

Summize
Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) Software
Summize takes a different approach to CLM by prioritizing business-wide adoption through seamless integrations, expert implementation plans and powerful AI. For non-legal teams, adoption is simple. No need to learn a completely new way of working, as Summize exists/integrates within familiar software including Salesforce, Teams, Slack, Outlook and Jira. For legal, Summize offers innovative CLM features but with a difference. Self-serve contracting reduces legal’s workload, seamless integrations create smarter workflows, and powerful AI assists and empowers more strategic thinking. Our unique approach ensures business-wide adoption, providing efficiency and business growth for legal. We call it a CLM with a difference.
