Are there any law firms that don't ask for your module grades?

I want to apply for a TC but I messed up in one of my LLB modules. Are there any city law firms that don't ask for a module breakdown? I am happy to state my overall grade but I would prefer to not disclose my individual module grades.

One module is not going to be an issue.

Squire Patton Boggs
Morrison & Foerster (apparently - I haven't checked)
Addleshaw Goddard (apparently - I haven't checked)
Jones Day only asks for 3 of your first year modules.

I did very poorly in first year and have made it through various applications which request a full breakdown, including a MC firm.
Thank you so much. I had good grades in my first year but really messed up in a second year module. I wish I had failed because I would have been able to resit that exam and get a better mark :/// but sadly my mark was just above the pass rate -.- I will check these firms out, thanks for giving me hope :)

What would your average across other grades look like?

I had a 57 in the exam and my overall final grade for all modules in that year was 68%. But the bad module was land law which is my favourite module, I just really messed up the exam because I mismanaged my time and only finished half the paper :( I had a bad migraine as well. Im scared it'll hold me back in interviews :////

It’s highly unlikely that would be the case.
