J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 8 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Linklaters (Hong Kong) en nov. 2025
Entretien
Standard HR interview + Final interview.
HR questions are mostly motivational and with enough preparation, you can pass it. It is however quite streamlined with minimal interaction to make it different from other firms' virtual interviews.
Final interview is quite difficult with intense CV questions. Make sure you know your CV and contents well to pass this stage.

Entretien
In-person interview with 2 senior fee-earners (a counsel and senior associate). It was not a structured interview, as most if not all of the interview questions were mostly directed towards former work experience/CV.
