Regal Court Reporting

What Regal Court Reporting does

Regal Court Reporting is a California-based, family-owned court reporting firm founded in 2007 and headquartered in Santa Ana, with a secondary office in Tampa, Florida. The company provides state-licensed certified shorthand reporters (CSRs) for depositions, hearings, trials, and arbitrations across California, and coordinates qualified out-of-state coverage in all 50 states through the DepoSpan member-firm network. Regal operates under CRB Firm Registration No. 92 as a reporter-owned firm under California SB 241, and is staffed by reporters holding RPR, RMR, RDR, CVR, CLVS, and CER certifications capable of stenographic capture at speeds up to 225 words per minute. The firm explicitly avoids AI-driven or digital-recorder-based transcription, positioning human certification as a defensible differentiator around accuracy and legal admissibility.

The company offers a full suite of litigation support services beyond core court reporting: CLVS-certified legal videography, certified interpreter coordination, complimentary conference rooms, transcript summaries, neutral deposition officers acting as custodians of subpoenaed records under California Code of Civil Procedure, trial technology (hotseating and exhibit presentation using Trial Director, TrialPad, and InTrial Pro), and a YesLawOnline client portal that provides centralized access to transcripts, exhibits, video synchronization, ASCIIs, and exhibit linking. Operations are supported by a ReporterBase internal portal for reporter-side workflow and Authorize.Net PCI-DSS compliant payment processing.

Regal generates revenue through professional services fees billed per-page for transcripts ($3.50–$7.00+ per page typical), plus appearance fees, expedite fees, copy fees, and technology charges for remote deposition platforms and exhibit handling. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led, targeting law firms and corporate legal departments through direct phone outreach, website scheduling, content marketing, social media, podcasting, and industry association affiliations with NCRA, DRA, and the California Court Reporters Board. In January 2025, Regal merged with Pantera Court Reporters, retaining the Pantera brand as a wholly owned agency, and has publicly stated its intent to pursue additional agency acquisitions.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Veritext Legal Solutions: One of the largest national court reporting and legal support companies in the US, offering deposition reporting, videography, and trial technology. Direct competitor to Regal across court reporting and litigation support services.
• Esquire Deposition Solutions: Court reporting and deposition services provider serving law firms nationwide. Direct competitor in the same product category with similar distribution model.
• Planet Depos: National court reporting and legal videography firm with realtime transcription and remote deposition capabilities. Closely comparable in core service mix and law firm customer base.
• US Legal Support: National provider of court reporting, record retrieval, e-discovery, and trial support services. Comparable in full-service litigation support offering and nationwide coverage.
• Magna Legal Services: End-to-end litigation support firm offering court reporting, legal video, trial services, and e-discovery. Comparable in full-service litigation support scope.

Broad incumbents

• Epiq Class Action Services: Large legal services business offering court reporting among a much broader portfolio of e-discovery, managed review, and class action administration. Indirect competitive overlap on litigation support.
• U.S. Court Reporters Association-affiliated agencies (e.g., Hunton Andrews Kurth in-house reporting): Large regional and national agencies with broader portfolios, including staffing and managed services. Competes with Regal on court reporting but operates at larger scale.

Emerging players

• Rev (transcription services): Tech-enabled transcription platform increasingly used for general legal transcription. Represents the AI/digital recorder threat that Regal explicitly positions itself against.

Others

• DepoSpan: Network of vetted court reporting firms that Regal leverages for out-of-state coverage. Strategic channel partner rather than direct competitor.
• Stenograph (court reporting technology vendor): Provider of stenotype machines and CAT software used by certified shorthand reporters. Enabler/supplier to Regal's CSR workforce rather than a competitor.
