someone save this attorneys job. I hired an attorney with 5 years experience. I send her assignments and usually the law we're using. She never reads the breifs or memos we've prepared. Does her own research and usually misses the points. When I ask why she says she's intimidated by the memos etc and they're "hard".

That drove me up a wall. We don't get paid to do easy things. Just because it's hard you give up? WTF.

Where are you located?

Maybe explain to her the research on the memo and why it’s crucial that she understands it. Also maybe go over it with her a few times so she gets the hang of what you want.

It takes a big first step to admitting that you’re intimidated by something. Taking the extra step to help her would probably help all parties involved. The more concerning thing, from the little info I have, is that she’s intimidated and not comfortable going to you about it. That’s gotta get corrected
