I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at A&O Shearman (Singapore)
Interview
I was lateraling from overseas and used a recruiter to help me arrange interviews. First around was a remote interview with two partners, each for less than 30 minutes.

Questions were generally not too difficult to answer,
