Stephanie Leslie, Co-Founder, Regal Court Reporting
Mary Pierce
SANTA ANA, CA, UNITED STATES, July 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — At the 2026 NCRA Conference and Expo, an educational presentation will be delivered by Regal Court Reporting Founder Stephanie Leslie together with Mary Pierce, under the title "From One Generation to the Next: Passing the Legacy of a Court Reporting Firm."
Regal Court Reporting, widely acknowledged as a top acquisition partner for court reporting agencies seeking to avoid corporate buyers, is pleased to announce its role as a featured presenter at this year’s NCRA Conference and Expo. Being among the few remaining agencies in California that are fully court reporter-owned and focused exclusively on stenography, Regal is dedicated to offering an alternative route for agency owners who want to safeguard the legacy they have created and the relationships they have nurtured.
Alongside Stephanie Leslie, Regal’s Co-Founder, will be Mary Pierce, whose court reporting career has spanned over four decades. Mary founded Pantera Court Reporters in 2002, developing a reputation built on integrity and exceptional service. Earlier this year, following a careful review of her choices as a business owner planning her next professional step, Mary opted to merge Pantera Court Reporters into Regal Court Reporting.
"Once I decided the time had come to pass on the ownership and management responsibilities of my agency, Pantera Court Reporters, after 24 years of operation, I selected Regal Court Reporting as my successor because I felt instinctively that it was the right match—not only for myself but also for my clients," Mary Pierce stated. "I have full confidence that their offerings align with my high expectations, along with our agency’s prompt delivery and ethical standards. The team at Regal Court Reporting is friendly, supportive, and exceptionally skilled."
Designed exclusively for agency owners, the presentation by Stephanie Leslie and Mary Pierce at the 2026 NCRA Conference and Expo will deliver a substantive program focused on educating fellow court reporter-owned firms about critical factors when developing an exit strategy. This talk aims to assist attendees in:
• Comprehending both the practical and emotional dimensions of ownership transition
• Recognizing why additional agency owners are needed in the industry—and steps to become one
• Acquiring strategies for preparing a business for sale in order to boost its worth
• Exploring typical deal structure possibilities
• Remaining determined and trusting their judgment throughout the journey
Effective exit planning starts well before an actual merger or acquisition occurs. Court reporting agency owners interested in exploring next steps toward a potential future purchase can obtain more assistance and details from Regal Court Reporting here.
