I had the same exact issue where I’m currently working. Had the lead attorney having me do one set of tasks that I wasn’t actually supposed to be doing, and how the other attorneys didn’t know what they were doing. How she was constantly having to micro manage them because they’re lazy. The other set of attorneys telling me she is actually the lazy one and she didn’t attend her hearings ever. It was a constant battle and got to a point where the managing attorney had to send out a massive email to all of them telling them they needed to stop involving me in their drama and that I was only going to be following the sop I was given by my supervisor. Needless to say, she was eventually forced to resign because she was pretending to go to her hearings. Hang in there. This line of work is definitely not for the weak

Are the two sets on the same matter? If not, then just work in the style of the attorney on the specific matter, and in the style of the others on their matters. If it’s the same matter, what we do in my office is set those boundaries explicitly. Who is the lead attorney on the matter? Who is responsible for client communication, or communication with opposing? Am I to take direction from any attorney on the matter or just the lead? When there is a conflict it’s up to the lead to decide. Ultimately, someone has to be in charge and so determine that and only take direction from that person. When the others disagree, that’s not really about you and it’s up to them to resolve. Just extricate yourself from that discussion and do whatever you’re instructed once it’s resolved.
