I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at A&O Shearman
Interview
A lot of scenario-based questions and the interview is awfully long. For example, tell me about a time when you hold a minority viewpoint in a group. A very thorough interview. The case study was relatively easier for me. The interviewer was very personable and guided through the case. Learned a lot from the case interview.
Case interview with a senior counsel and then behavioural interview with either HR staff or a knowledge lawyer. It takes roughly 4 hours and it is not as stressful as I expected.
