It would make a difference to me if I knew whether the lawyers are part of the litigating team. If they are then the whole firm will have to withdraw as counsel

You are partly right. If a lawyer is a material witness then (s)he is generally disqualified from representing either side as an advocate. However, the whole firm is not disqualified in that instance. The whole firm is generally disqualified only if the lawyer in question has a conflict of interest or there is some appearance of impropriety in allowing the representation to continue.
