Firms that will make you "earn" Cravath - Sidley Austin, Dechert, Latham & Watkins, White & Case, Jones Day, Gibson Dunn, Skadden.
Intel could be wrong so YMMV.
IMHO Cravath is not sustainable if you're only looking at the Singapore market. Cravath payscale = Cravath billing rates. SEA market is nowhere as mature as the US / UK markets, so not many Singapore-only clients (or even some regional clients) can afford or want to pay Cravath rates especially if they don't need US-law expertise or not targetting the US market.
