Doctrine

Transaction overview

Status: Announced

Exact closing date not established.

Summit Partners reported a put-option agreement under which RELX Group committed to acquire Doctrine, a legal AI business backed by Summit since 2023. The option was exercisable after completion of employee consultation, and definitive share-purchase documentation was expected after that process. The proposed transaction remained subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, with the companies operating separately in the interim.
