I feel you bro. You know you don't have to work with this senior right? There are so many seniors in a biglaw. We have a choice who we are working with. Just finish this deal in a professional manner and never work for this guy again.
OP, you are receiving terrible advice in this thread. You do not get to choose what senior associates or midlevels you work with. That said, the situation you described is ridiculous. I'd suggest standing up for yourself and telling her to treat you respectfully. 0% chance that will blow back on you. 75% chance just avoiding her and blowing off her assignments will.
