      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sidley Austin (London, England) in Jul 2011

      Interview

      Online application and then face to face interview in London office. 1 hour with two partners ranging from experience, education and background. Starts off with basic questions: why law, why Sidley etc. and then gets tougher with in-depth questions about recent legal developments. Highly focused on corporate and business news.
