Law Training Contract

Hey, I hope everyone's doing well. I had a question and if someone could help me out that would mean a lot. I wanted to ask do your A level grades really matter when applying for a TC at a city law firm. I unfortunately couldn't score well in my A levels but I'm on track of a 2:1 and will be able to get a first hopefully. Im currently at the University Of Cardiff. Someone please help me out here. Thank you

Some firms look at A levels grades, others don't . There are many firms to apply to, and lots of good legal work outside the Square Mile.

The high paid firms look at A levels and every grade in every module in every year of your degree and even those with top grades are still rejected all the time; however lower paid and high street firms may not be so worried about that. The main this is do apply and see how you get on.
