I'd advise you keep a decision diary and a log of all interactions on the subject you have with your boss and colleagues. Even if they are just casual discussions, don't force anything. It's just good to have an honest (no porkies, no revisionism) account of who said what when and a clear timeline. If you have a good project and things move fast it can get muddled and messy, like a big pile of spaghetti. A lawyer should ask for this if you have it and they will find the situation easier to understand. So yes, a lawyer would help.
