Legacy Anchored, Vision Expanded: Paige Hulse Law Is Merging With Winters & King
The biggest announcement for the firm since the day it started: today I can officially announce that after careful consideration, I am so proud to say that Paige Hulse Law is officially merging with Winters & King.
After 8 years as a sole practitioner, I am merging my law practice with Winters & King, a ten person firm of seasoned professionals who collectively provide comprehensive outside counsel services for businesses worldwide, including 501C3 nonprofits, litigation, estate planning, contracts/general transactions, and a specialist in book deals, as well as, an in-house COO.
This isn’t an ending, but a next chapter. My direct counsel continues, now amplified by Winters & King’s four decades of experience - expanding capacity while preserving personal connection. I will continue to offer intellectual property support, trademark support, and outside general counsel through Winters & King. With this merge, you, as an entrepreneur building a lasting and enduring legacy, will have support that I couldn’t provide alone.
From the day I opened my firm, I knew I would eventually outgrow the model I was building. I had a clear vision of the type of firm I would build. One that could step in at every step of my clients’ growth; one that was built on the foundation of integrity.
But I also knew a choice was on the horizon: stay small or find a way to expand sustainably. Because staying solo forever would have meant stagnation — which isn’t how I serve best. So, I considered two paths: growing vertically (hiring associates under me) or growing laterally (merging). After trialing the vertical model, I realized managing associates pulled me away from the work that draws on my highest skill set.
As I honed into my zone of genius (strategizing and executing licensing deals), I knew my time was becoming too limited. I saw the impact my deep work has on my clients, and saw the growth in complexity in the skill set required to execute. In other words, to serve my clients best, they do not just need more of me; they need the continuously refined, cutting-edge version of my intellect, and more resources to pull from.
This is why I began to entertain the idea of merging my firm, and conversing with potential partners.
This summer it became clear, horizontal growth was the correct path; it was just a matter of “who”. I walked into Winters and King with an open mind, but what I experienced caught me entirely off guard. While I only knew two people at the table, I realized I had never felt so much integrity at any given time, in a collective space, in my industry, ever.
This firm, which has been serving clients for over 40 years, is built on the same foundation I built my own firm: a bedrock of integrity. So, rather than work for years, putting my own “skill set” to the side, hoping to build something exactly like this firm, I am merging.
Merging is the path that preserves integrity, sustainability, and depth. With this merger, I am proving that entrepreneurial law can be both deeply personal and globally expansive — without the trade-off of being absorbed into a faceless institution.
Building Paige Hulse Law over the last 8 years has produced my proudest work, and is the actualization of my own American Dream. Advocating for entrepreneurs and business owners is what I genuinely believe I was put on this earth to do. For almost a decade, I’ve walked alongside entrepreneurs around the world building their own versions of the American Dream. It’s remarkable to see how far we’ve come and how that groundwork has carried us forward into this next evolution.
Paige Hulse Law has grown rapidly over the last 8 years, but the growth has leaned nearly exclusively on my own shoulders- pulling my time, energy, and bandwidth. The practice has scaled, but by merging with Winters & King, I no longer have to hit the ceiling of what I alone can oversee. The merger creates new capacity, allowing continued growth while accelerating the process. Iron sharpens iron.
Everything that nearly 1500 clients across the world have come to expect over the last 8 years continues; my direct counsel and the entrepreneurial flair to legality will continue. Now, however, it will be amplified by Winters & King’s four decades of experience - expanding my capacity while preserving personal connection, allowing my advocacy to pioneer into the next chapter.
The Creative Law Shop® and Creative Law Foundry™ remain separate from the merger, Paige Hulse Law is the only entity joining Winters & King.
