Leaving bankruptcy law for restructuring IB

I am senior bankruptcy associate attorney wrapping up MBA from top program, good BA/JD creds, looking to lateral to restructuring IB - put too many hours in the law and prefer not to put in 80-90 hrs/week and start over - any recs on midwestern MM IBs where I could leverage off of my legal background?
