[QUOTE="DarrenB, post: 153818, member: 31579"] Hey! I think that it is realistic to get a TC with a law firm since there are law firms that do not have grade requirements so maybe it is worth going for those. However, you are also at the beginning of your LLB, and getting a 1st for example would help you. There are some law firms that look at your application holistically meaning that they consider how your academic journey developed and how you grew in this period. What will be very important is that you show a keen interest in commercial law and the law firms you are applying to. When you write your law firm applications make sure these two elements stand out and you clearly and concisely show why this is the case. You will also need to develop your soft skills in order to persuade the firm that you have the skills that they are looking for in a trainee - for this I would recommend joining a law society and later in your academic career try to go for a position of responsibility within that society (President, treasurer, etc) and also do pro bono work experience.
