Karen Reagan is not a newcomer to the Montgomery business community. She has more than 15 years of experience in the ownership and operation of Reagan Reporters LLC — a freelance court reporting service located here in the Capital City.

Nominated and selected for her "unique technical and business ideas," Reagan has learned that court reports are benefiting from the latest technology. By keeping abreast of the latest technology, she oversees the company's managing, marketing, and administrative departments, she said. Reagan has developed her legal expertise as a court reporter and service provider. She has learned medical malpractice and nursing home litigation. Reagan is familiar as well with environmental, construction and anti-trust issues. As owner and managing principal of Reagan Reporters LLC, Reagan oversees the firms' daily operations which include managing eight court reporters. According to Reagan, legal-technology has allowed court reporters to "broaden their product offerings and enter new settings that a few years ago we weren't in."

Managing Reagan Reporters LLC is only one of Reagan's venues of interest. She conducts speeches at institutions such as Prince Institute where she has served as a board advisor since 1990. She is a frequent speaker to attorney groups and legal associations on the implementation of today's technology in the legal marketplace. Reagan is also a member of the Alabama Court Reporters Association and presides as President on the association's executive board. Reagan said a couple of thoughts come to mind when mulling over the most critical economic development issues facing central Alabama. "Of greatest importance to me personally is continued support of our area's small business, as small business has the greatest impact and is the driving force behind our local area's economy," Reagan said. "With that in mind I'm so very proud of the synergistic approach of Alabama's different state agencies and our city government that are all responsible for bringing Hyundai Motor Co. to our tri-county area. Reagan said as a small business owner, she is anticipating the opportunity that will result from a $1 billion auto manufacturing plant in Montgomery.
