At trial, it would seem to be a conflict of interest and unprofessional.

Some firms create "Chinese Walls" such that the one person / team doesn't serve both sides.

I think a solicitor can unless there is a conflict of interest i.e two people accused of murder....one says the other did it and vice versa. I stand to be corrected though.
