After a resume screening, they contacted me to do an online test of legal knowledge and English with a time limit. The legal knowledge test covers several areas of law, and the English test has a grammar section and a reading comprehension section.

If you get through that, you're invited to do an internship, which is gruelling. After the internship, there's another partner interview, or sometimes it's with two senior associates.
