Finding work as a foreign attorney in HK

[observer1978]

Hi there,
Does anyone here have experience finding a job as a foreign lawyer?
I am an Israeli (common law) lawyer considering to relocate to HK with my wife who has a solid job offer as an offshore employee. Many years of experience, mostly in commercial litigation but have quite some experience in commercial contracts, employment law et cetera.
Currently we live in the US, also through my wife's employer, and I am working hard on getting my New York state license, so hopefully by the time we relocate I will be licensed both in Israel and in NY.
With that in mind, could anyone offer some advice on the possibility of finding a job as a foreign lawyer in HK, where to look, what to look for et cetera.
Thanks in advance

Do you have a job in USA now in a global firm? Absolute best and easiest way to move countries in to move with the support of a current employer.
