Most commonly E&W, sometimes NY (but usually only if the firm does capital markets or int'l arbitration work under NY law - only a handful of firms do in Sg), and rarely Australia.
You'd generally need to maintain a practicing cert for both jurisdictions. In my experience your firm will organise/pay for the application and renewal. For E&W, renewal is done once a year in bulk.
