The promising land

I did not understand that last bit about aliyah. That many Jewish lawyers wish to move to Israel, I understand. But why on Earth would this discourage foreign law firms from setting up in Israel? On the contrary, isn't it an incentive to think that, by setting up in Israel, they can attract more and more motivated talent? If I were a top law firm and I thought that, by setting up an Israeli law office, I could be extremely selective and populate it with a cadre of Israel-called lawyers as well as very high quality New York, London, and Paris qualified lawyers that can pitch in both locally and to accompany my offices in those jurisdictions -- well, I would have thought that would be a rather interesting proposition. Is the article saying the opposite? I didn't quite get it.
