Sexism.

How do you all deal with sexism from opposing counsel? Both the partner (male) on the case and I have told opposing counsel (old white male) that I am the point of contact on a case. We have relayed this to OC many times. OC continues to call the partner. I have tried being nice but at this point I think he is just sexist and I am tired of being “nice”.

Ask the male partner to ignore calls. OC will quickly remember you exist

He gets it and it’s intentional. Document it and bring it to the court’s attention when appropriate.

Call him out. “My colleague and I have repeatedly told you that I am the point of contact on this case. Is there a reason you nevertheless continue to contact my colleague, in the first instance, instead of me?” Praying you don’t get met with something like “sorry hunny! An old guy like me can’t remember 🙄”

I agree with this response. Put it in writing and be direct.

Is it sexism or hierarchy? If he’s a partner he may think he should be working opposite a peer. Not that it makes it better, but a thought.

Have the partner tell him all communication must be in writing going forward and you have to be the one to be emailed.
