Summize has opened a new office in San Diego on the West Coast of the United States in California.
The new office, in the DiamondView Tower overlooking Petco Park, will be led by Summize’s senior director of sales, West Coast, Olly Atkin.
The location will initially serve as a customer and sales hub to specifically cater to clients on the West Coast. The firm, led by CEO and co-founder Tom Dunlop (pictured), is hiring for a range of positions to support the expansion.
“I’m incredibly impressed by the wealth of talent in San Diego. It is the perfect location to helm our West Coast operations,” said Atkin. “The city’s culture and thriving technology ecosystem make it an ideal fit as we continue expanding our efforts to serve our growing client base.”
This year the firm launched Summize Intelligent Agents (SIA), its agentic AI-powered approach to contract lifecycle management (CLM).
It also reported 215% growth in US-based annual recurring revenue and a 49% increase in global headcount for its fiscal year ending in June 2025, with a 3x year-over-year expansion of its West Coast customer base.
The CLM platform is used by the likes of Sourcegraph, Viasat, TigerConnect, Groq, Sigma Computing, Forma, Primegy Solar, Revinate and Seattle Sounders FC.

“Establishing a presence in San Diego allows us to meet customers where they are, just as our solutions let users work within their preferred tools and workflows,” said Dunlop.
“The West Coast is home to some of the world’s most forward-thinking legal and technology teams, and this move is as much about people as it is about growth. Our implementation and customer success teams are completely hands-on, proactively driving adoption and helping customers get real value from day one.
“Being in the same time zone and meeting customers face-to-face is how we build lasting partnerships and deliver success together.”
