Job hunting lawyers fee expense

I am on working visa and my previous employer A plans tO let go of me. So I paid a lawyer tO transfer my wOrk visa to another employer. I paid the lawyer inorder for me to work for employer B.

Is the fee I paid the lawyer be categorized as job huntIng expense? Is it tax deductible?

Thank you
