SUNDAY BUSINESS: "Lawyers Wanted: Abroad, That Is," by John Bringardner, New York Times, 23 November 2008.
I know this Western (Brit) lawyer who moved to Baghdad after the invasion and set up a solitary shop, figuring a market would eventually emerge for his services. He's still there and thriving--real frontier economy lawyering. Stunningly cool story. Would make a great TV show, frankly.
Used to be that London was always the big choice for any time abroad by American lawyers looking to strike out on a foreign career, but now "lawyers and analysts say that the most promising places for legal careers are such far-flung locales as Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong."
Other big growth spots shown on the

Warsaw
Moscow
Istanbul
Cairo
Riyadh
Almaty

Tokyo
Shanghai
Taipei

No clearer sign of our frontier-integrating age. A clear case of insourcing counterparty capacity to facilitate growing economic connectivity--both inward from advance countries and outward toward targets of future integration.
