McCalla Raymer Leibert Pierce, LLP (“MRLP”) is pleased to announce its combination with Scott & Corley, P.A., effective July 1, 2026. This strategic combination expands MRLP’s geographic footprint and enables the firm to offer its full complement of legal services in the state of South Carolina.
Scott & Corley, a Columbia-based firm with a long-standing presence in the state, brings extensive experience in mortgage foreclosure, bankruptcy, real estate litigation, creditor’s rights, and governmental relations. The firm is recognized for its depth of experience and established reputation within the default servicing industry and the South Carolina legal and business community. Scott & Corley has received numerous recognitions for its work in governmental relations, mortgage foreclosure, and debtor-creditor rights, including peer selected distinctions from Best Lawyers in America (top 5% for state), Super Lawyers (top 5 % for state) and the Martindale-Hubbell Register of Preeminent Lawyers.
The combination reflects MRLP’s continued focus on thoughtful, strategic growth in key markets while maintaining its commitment to local, state-based operations. By combining a broad multi-state practice with strong, established in-state experience, MRLP continues to strengthen its ability to serve clients with responsive, high-quality legal representation.
“This combination reflects our continued focus on strategic growth in markets that are important to our clients,” said Marty Stone, Managing Partner and Chief Executive Officer of MRLP. “Scott & Corley’s experience and its respected standing within the industry and South Carolina legal community further strengthen our ability to serve clients with the insight and capabilities they expect.”
“We are pleased to join MRLP and build on the foundation we have established in South Carolina,” said Ronald “Ron” C. Scott, Founder of Scott & Corley, P.A. “This combination allows us to continue serving our clients with the same team and local insight, while benefiting from the additional resources and infrastructure of a firm with an established and respected multi-state practice.”
As part of the transition, the Scott & Corley team will continue operating from its Columbia, South Carolina office, with personnel expected to remain in place to ensure continuity for clients and ongoing matters. MRLP anticipates continued alignment of personnel, workflows, technology platforms, and compliance controls, with no disruption to client service, file-level operations, or staffing directly supporting client matters.
This combination positions MRLP to deliver expanded capabilities, deeper regional knowledge, and continued continuity of service to clients across its multi-state platform. The firm looks forward to building on the shared strengths of both organizations and continuing to provide the high standard of service that has defined each firm for decades.
Following the effective date, Scott & Corley’s default practice will become part of McCalla Raymer Leibert Pierce, LLP, with no change to MRLP’s name or organizational structure.
