I’ve escaped the e-Discovery Niche After 15 Years of Super-Specialization
After fifteen years of writing weekly blogs on e-discovery, I took three years off to focus on implementation of all those words. Now I’m back, back to where I once belonged. Writing again, but writing not just about my Big Law niche, the fun little AI corner that I had painted myself into, but back to writing about ALL of my interests in Law and Technology. That has been my home since I started in legal practice in 1980 and at the same time started coding, mostly games, but also music software, midi creations and law office technology. Proud to recall that I was one of the first computer lawyers in the country. (Also one of the first to get in trouble with the Bar for my Internet Website, FloridaLawFirm.com, which they thought was a television broadcast!)
Anyway, when not haggling with the Bar and fellow attorneys who would tease me, the first nerd, and call me a “secretary” (ooh how terrible) for having a keyboard on my desk. I kid you not! I used PCs when they first came out in my law firm as the new associate. I have had them on my desk to try to work smarter ever since. Not PCs necessarily, but all kinds.
So I’m back to where I once belonged, in the great big world of technology law, making deals and giving advice. Oh yeah, I may still consult on e-discovery too, especially the AI parts that so fascinated me ever since my Da Silva Moore breakthrough days. (Thank you Judge Andrew Peck.) For my full story, some of which I had to hide in my Big Law role as a super-specialist, see: https://www.losey.law/our-people/25-uncategorized/108-ralph-losey Not many people know I was a Qui Tam lawyer too; and for both sides.
Wait, there is still more. I’ve left the best for last. I went back home, left Big Law for good, and am now practicing law with my son, Adam Losey, daughter in law, Cat Losey, and thirteen other, crazy tech lawyer types at Losey.law. Yes, that is the real domain name and the name of the firm itself is Losey. So of course I had to go there. Check it out. Practicing law with my son is a dream come true for both of us. I’m loving it. It was lonely being the only tech wiz in a giant firm. Adam knows tech better than me, is much faster in every respect (except maybe doc review with AI) and he and Cat are obviously a lot smarter.
To my long-time readers, thanks for your encouragement. I heard you and got back to my roots of general tech-law, and got back to blogging and home. To quote the Beatles the funny “Get Back” song in their great LET IT BE album:
Rosetta (who are you talking about?) about Sweet Loretta Fart. . . .
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Loretta ooh, ooh
Go home

Stay tuned, because a new blog is coming at you soon. Feel free to drop me an email at Ralph at Losey dot Law. Humans only please. Robots not welcome (unless you’re from the future and don’t have weapons).
SO GOOD to see YOU in my inbox Ralph! You look great! And, awesome that you are practicing with your son. What a dream.
Happy New Year
Becky
Rebecca (back from Fios days etc)
