It may be a conflict if interest for s litigant's attorney and the Guardian Ad Litem to be from the same firm. It us probably up to the other litigant's attorney to raise and object to the conflict. It doesn't seem to be a conflict for an attorney to be related to a coworker of a litigant, in the way you described.
Good luck
