LOS ANGELES, August 18, 2026 – First Legal, the leading litigation support and attorney services provider in the U.S., is proud to welcome Bee Reporting Agency, Inc., a top provider of stenographic and transcription services in the New York Tri-State Area for more than 35 years, to their family. This partnership brings together two organizations committed to exceptional service, while Bee leadership and staff remain integral parts of the new and expanded operations.
The move gives Bee Reporting’s clients access to First Legal’s comprehensive suite of litigation support services and greater geographic reach across the country. Meanwhile, First Legal’s clients will benefit from expanded court reporting coverage in the greater New York area.
“Cultural fit was a crucial element of this partnership,” says Alex Martinez, CEO of First Legal. “We believe the best way to serve our clients is to join forces with like-minded, founder-led companies that want to offer their clients access to all our adjacent services. With Bee, our shared values focus on delivering outstanding service and fostering long-term relationships will enable us to serve each other’s clients well for years to come.”
“We know our clients have a broad range of litigation support needs,” says Bee Reporting co‑founder Judy Rossi. “By working with First Legal, we are expanding our court reporting capabilities while offering clients best-in-class support across court filings, service of process, records retrieval, private investigations, eDiscovery, and trial support.”
“What matters most to us at Bee,” says co-founder Liz Laike, “is knowing that the values we built this business on will continue to thrive. First Legal shares those values and brings the resources, experience, and vision to help us support our clients in new and meaningful ways.”
The addition of Bee Reporting reflects First Legal’s continued commitment to partnering with organizations that share its client-first approach. It follows First Legal’s alignment with eFileMadeEasy in April 2026, a leading court eFiling platform that supports eFiling solutions across the country, and Inter County Judicial Services, a New York-area provider of process serving and litigation support services, in 2025.
