"KSE is one of the most ambitious sports and entertainment groups in the world, and partnering with them is a defining moment for Summize,” said Tom Dunlop, CEO and co-founder of Summize. “What KSE is building — a single source of truth for contracts across franchises, venues, media, and property — is exactly the kind of strategy Summize is purpose-built for. Together, KSE and Summize are defining what modern, AI-first contract operations look like for large global organizations and we're proud to be the vendor powering this shift."
Summize’s AI-powered technology will accelerate workflows and unlock efficiencies across KSE’s global portfolio. Summize will create a centralized repository of documents, giving all KSE departments access to a single, searchable source. Summize’s playbook-driven AI solution will streamline contract review, delivering consistency across multiple jurisdictions, regulatory regimes, and league frameworks. In addition, Summize will deliver template-based contract generation and automated intake for any commercial agreements, using software that is embedded within the organization’s existing technology stack.
"We are pleased to welcome Summize to the KSE family,” said Keirstin Beck, EVP, General Counsel, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment. “Summize’s AI solution will enable our organization to centralize agreements and create efficiency, giving us a scalable solution for our dynamic portfolio of businesses."
Implementation is underway via a phased rollout led by Summize's internal team across its three locations in Manchester, Boston and San Diego. Sprints are aligned to KSE's priority use cases, sequenced to deliver measurable value from day one.
The KSE partnership underscores Summize's accelerating momentum in sports and entertainment, and its position as the AI-powered CLM solution of choice for the ambitious legal teams behind some of the world's most commercially complex businesses.
