Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Florida

Retaining of a Laywer

We have a Corporation and the Corporation is paying the bills for a certain lawyer. The unaffiliated shareholders of the Corporation are using the same lawyer to cause problems with the Executives of the Corporation even though the Executives of the Corporation are bankrolling the company. Can we ask the Lawyer not to correspond with the Shareholders anymore?
