[QUOTE="pepsicola96, post: 180972, member: 35776"] well I'll be applying to two of those and I have ABC 🤩 generally I think the majority of firms consider mitigating circumstances to some degree if you have them. Some firms, the AAB is more of a preference than a requirement, I think the language that they use in their requirements can give you an idea. E.g Taylor Wessing says "Regarding academic ability, we do look for AAB at A Level and a 2:1 in any degree discipline. If you do not meet the AAB requirement but are able to demonstrate strong academic performance elsewhere and have the motivation, skill set and attitude to succeed, please reach out to one of the team to discuss your application." which suggests to me they're quite willing to consider those with lower grades in some cases. Bird and Bird give the standard answer, we require AAB, but consider mitigating circumstances and use Rare contextual recruitment. Interestingly I can't find any A-level requirements on the Hogan Lovells page. I was under the impression it is an AAB requirement and Legal Cheek still lists this, but the website [URL]https://graduates.hoganlovells.com/what-we-offer/vacation-scheme[/URL] only references a 2:1 at degree level. Nonetheless, you are only one grade below. If you have the spare time to apply, and you're interested in the firms go for it! [/QUOTE]
