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 Co-Founder Stephanie Leslie together with Mary Pierce titled "From One Generation to the Next: Passing the Legacy of a Court Reporting Firm."
Regal Court Reporting, acknowledged as a top acquisition partner for court reporting firms that prefer not to sell to corporate entities, is pleased to announce its role as a featured presenter during this year’s NCRA Conference and Expo. As one of California’s few remaining 100% court reporter‑owned, steno‑only agencies, Regal is dedicated to offering agency owners an alternative route that allows them to protect the legacy they have built and the connections they have nurtured.
Regal Co‑Founder Stephanie Leslie will be joined on stage by Mary Pierce, whose court reporting career has spanned more than four decades. Mary established Pantera Court Reporters in 2002, building a reputation founded on integrity and exceptional service. Earlier this year, after carefully evaluating her options as a business owner planning the next phase of her career, Mary opted to merge Pantera Court Reporters with Regal Court Reporting.
"When I decided I was ready to transfer ownership and management of my agency, Pantera Court Reporters, after 24 years in business, I chose Regal Court Reporting as my successor because I knew intuitively it was a good fit — not just for me, but for my clientele as well," says Mary Pierce. "I am confident their services match my elevated standards, as well as our agency's timely turnaround and professional ethics. The Regal Court Reporting staff is friendly, helpful, and highly competent."
Designed specifically for agency owners, the session presented by Stephanie Leslie and Mary Pierce at the 2026 NCRA Conference and Expo will deliver a content‑rich program focused on educating fellow court reporter‑owned agencies about critical factors to consider when developing an exit strategy. The presentation aims to assist attendees in:
• Comprehending the practical and emotional dimensions of ownership transition
• Understanding why the industry requires more agency owners — and how to become one
• Acquiring strategies for preparing a firm for sale to optimize its value
• Exploring typical deal structure alternatives
• Remaining steadfast and trusting their instincts throughout the journey
Effective exit planning starts well before an actual merger or sale takes place. Court reporting agency owners seeking to investigate next steps toward a future acquisition can request further assistance and details from Regal Court Reporting here.
