First there is a screening with the litigation chair who wants to make sure that you want to be a “rain maker”. If you show that you want to bring the firm money down the road he will let you go to the next round of interviewing. The second round is an interview by the recruitment director, one partner and two lower level senior counsel attorneys. They ask you boiler plate interview questions and want to make sure that you are willing to work at least 1950 billable hours per year. They seem very keen on making sure the applicant they hire will work like an animal for them. After that, they will ask you to fill out an excel sheet that lists all your current clients and opposing parties, along with references, etc.
