Are there any practice areas which don't involve juggling huge volumes of documents at speed, but more focusing say on a smaller amount of documents (but possibly with complex issues)? Regulatory and Antitrust filings seem just as bad as M&A/Funds/Finance closings (with their CP checklist). Is something like Tax, Commercial, Life Sciences or Intl Trade more likely to be this?

Tax is definitely not about volume. Much more of the work in tax is outside of the document. Research, fact finding, etc., we could spend days on one project that culminates into revising one sentence in a 300 page document.
