Which Law Firms Require Transcripts?

I am a student at Oxbridge and am thinking of applying for Law, however I got 60, 56 and 55 in my preliminary first year exams.

Please could you let me know which law firms don't require transcripts to be submitted. Also if I did have to submit the transcript how much would this disadvantage me?

Thanks and kind regards

For the purposes of the application you'll need to submit all of your first year grades for all law firms. It's still possible to get an interview with those grades but truthfully you're best off revising very hard next year, getting excellent grade and then making your big application push (in my humble opinion!)
