Just talk to the partner and ask for more work. Don’t say “you’re sending mixed messages” cause that’s hella confrontational for no reason. Just ask for more work and say you appreciated his comments during the review about your work being good and you’d love to take on more work and help out. Leave it at that. You also shouldn’t be looking for work from only one partner if possible. You should be getting multiple streams of work. If this thing continues and you’re slow with work, just reach out to the partner and flag it for them and say you’re excited to take on more stuff. If at THAT point you’re still slow, then consider asking what’s up.
I suspect it’s likely a misunderstanding of some kind that’s not big deal. Maybe he thinks bc the guy has 3 more years of experience he’ll assign it to the guy and feels more comfortable assigning it to that guy, but thinks the guy will turn around and include you in the work. He might not realize that’s not happening and the new guy is hogging it all.
The other possibility is that he wants to test out the new guy and see how well he performs, so he’s throwing work his way to see diff kinds of work product for a bit.
Years of experience than me. I no longer get work from this partner, it all goes to the new associate. My work load has also diminished in general. What is the deal with this mixed message?
Just here to say im sorry, A1

Can you get staffed on matters along with the lateral? There could be enough work for both of you/you could be doing work which he reviews before it goes to the partner? What is your year level? I totally get that it feels like a demotion if you were working directly with the partner before, but it’s probably not personal, even the most skilled midlevel (?) is going to need more supervision than someone with 3 years additional experience, so may just be that partner was struggling with having enough people he could hand off work to with minimal involvement going forward?
Was your department busy? It may be they are hiring for need. If there's a lot of work they will need bodies regardless of how well you are doing. As they say, litigation is a pie eating contest where the reward is more pie
Don’t feel bad. Sometimes work goes to new laterals in order to justify the hire and to get the person staffed up and acclimated. Imagine hiring someone and then they are slow, that’s a stress partners don’t like. The partner may actually think you don’t need the help or your busy on other things.
On the flip side, you may want to find another partner to work for. If a client will pay for associate A and associate B to do work that is the same quality and takes the same amount of hours, but B’s billing rate is three years higher. Who would you use...? I get the relationships between people, but partners have families too and bills to pay.
After your positive review, did you slack off? It is crucial that you are honest with yourself here.
