Meeting with a Partner at a Distressed Hedge Fund

Hi all, I will be getting coffee with a partner of a hedge fund based in APAC that focuses on distressed credit and special sits. How can I demonstrate knowledge and interest in the area? It is purely informational, but I would love to secure an internship if possible.

For context, he has a legal background and is the Head of Restructuring. I am in law school and have previously interned in BBIB.

Thank you for your reply! I have previously read Moyer and the HL case study so I am somewhat familiar with the space.

Regarding the deal, do you recommend focusing on anything in particular? E.g. the cause of distress, company / investor perspective, etc?
