Firms that care less about grades

Hi everyone,

I graduated in 2024 with an LLB in Law from a Russell Group university. My grades were mostly in the 50s and 60s, but I achieved a 2:1 overall. I also have strong work experience, but I suspect that my applications might be rejected mainly because of my grades.

Could anyone share which law firms tend to be more flexible or holistic when it comes to academic results especially for vacation schemes or training contracts?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
