I have scored 2 interviews through the cold email method till now, so I think I have some idea of how it works.
1. Mention what you want in the subject [application for …] , add details like PQE as well.
2. Body of the email should be crisp, introducing yourself and highlighting prior experience relevant to the partner’s practice area along with the usual stuff.
3. Send/schedule these emails during hours when the partner is most likely to look and respond to it. For example, don’t send it at 11:30AM on a Wednesday.
4. Reach out to as many partners as you can with this method. Many will not respond, some will tell you their teams are at capacity right now, but a couple will give you an interview.
