I may be completely wrong (someone please correct me if I am wrong!!!!) but I'm not sure there are firms which "don't look at A-levels" in the sense that they don't ask for them or take them into consideration at all. I think almost all commercial law applications will ask for your A-Level grades as a factor in your application. Yes there are firms which have a minimum requirement of an AAB while others don't have a requirement, but I am doubtful as to whether not having a requirement means that they don't look at your A-level results at all -  you just wont be automatically disqualified if you dont meet the requirement and dont have mitigating circumstances.

All that said, of course your A level grades are not the end all be all. I would say the best course of action is to focus on your grades in your second year and get you on track to obtain a 2:1 so that you have the most options available to you. As for the summer, any work experience is good experience that can help your applications, it doesnt have to be law related - a lot of firms maintain that working in customer service gives you valuable skills. good luck!
