“Happy to handle, but I’m tied up on other urgent matters and won’t be able to get this to you until mid-next week.”
You have to start setting boundaries.

It’s a risk I’d be willing to take if I knew the matter wasn’t truly urgent (which I’m assuming is the case based on the context OP provided about the client being chronically non-responsive).

“Im sorry. I have out of town guests this weekend.”
Somebody actually *wants* a 50-page memo? If my outside counsel sent me 50 pages, I’d send it back and tell them to give me 3-5 bullet points—and to cut their bill.
On the bright side, it sounds like it’d take weeks for the client to respond with the obligatory “why’d you run up a $20,000+ bill to produce something you knew I wasn’t going to read.”
If a firm ever gave me a 50 page memo, I would fire the firm.
At least ask a question with enough detail for people to respond accurately. Partner gave you an existing 50 page research memo to update? Partner gave you a topic to research and wants 50 pages on it? What?
Yeah I'm confused... are we supposed to think they were given a page limit like a high school essay?
You have to write a 50 page memo? In 2 days? That’d take me months lol
Doable, but it will not be good.
