Legal Jobs in Yukon

Naturally we all wanted to be attorneys at some time in our lives.  We saw what they experienced on TV, the constant drama, the high pay, and even the long late nights were enough to get us thinking about going to law school.  Now it's been ten years since you've graduated.  You've put in the 80 hour weeks to make partner, worked the long nights that you now realize are more grueling than exciting, and are absolutely tired of meaningless client drama.  You don't want to give up your well-deserved law degree but what other option do you have when looking for legal jobs in Yukon?

Yukon has a healthy attorney population

Perhaps while you had your nose to the grindstone you failed to notice just how many of these fellow legal professionals have been moving positions leaving a plethora of Yukon legal jobs open for the picking. If you are like most attorneys you realize that the partner position is not for you and decide to leverage your ten years of experience for a better life elsewhere.

Three types of Yukon legal jobs

There are three types of Yukon legal jobs that you might consider searching for as you define the next ten years of your life; corporate, small law firm, and not-for profit.  Each has a plethora of perks, including more personal time, a less cut throat environment, and even the potential for a hire status level within the ranks. 

Corporate legal jobs in Yukon

The life of a corporate attorney will probably seem plush after cranking away at your last job.  Accepting this Yukon legal job means that you can hold your own both inside of and outside of a court room.  Your legal job will entail protecting the company from the risk, and defending the company for liability if they are ever sued.  C level executive members are often attorneys so be prepared to schmooze with those individuals from the accounts that your last boss wouldn't let you touch.

Small law firm jobs in Yukon

Small law firms often specialize in just a few types of cases.  They actually take lunches, and tend to work regular bankers hours.  Yukon legal jobs within small law firms often make a hiring decision first by personality and second by experience.  Be prepared to know your coworkers very well, and understand that a different level of social etiquette applies.  You can't say no to your paralegal's sons bar mitzvah as everyone else will be in attendance, and your boss will be hurt if you skip the company holiday party. 

Yukon not-for-profit legal jobs

Not-for-profit legal jobs in Yukon are not for the faint of heart, but you will certainly qualify if you are passionate and often use yours to make decisions.  Yukon non-profit legal jobs require a jack of all trades individual who can advise the non-profit on the best route to take in a given situation, or even defend a person in an unfair situation.  If you have a heart of gold and are passionate about changing the world then check out non-profit legal jobs in Yukon.

By now you realize that there are plenty of options for an experienced attorney in the Yukon area. Chose the one that's best for you and start moving your way to a better work life balance.
