Law for restructuring/debt IBD roles

hello guys, too keep it short i have a bachelors in finance from a good public university, i wasnt set on IB in general so i decided to pursue an LLM(masters of law) in Business law at a top university which is a target for IBanks. Since i am based in europe i feel most IBD analysts have backgrounds in finance/economics/accounting etc. i like feel the LLM is hurting my chances in recruiting, do you think overall if i position myself towards role relating to debt/restructuring instead of M&A/ECM my LLM background can be an interesting factor ? Thanks
