Informational Interview with a trial boutique?

I'm currently working at a firm in NY and will be splitting with a trial boutique on the West Coast. I've enjoyed the first firm a lot and am hoping to enjoy the next as well. I recently received an email from a partner at a trial boutique located elsewhere in the country (e.g., Susman Godfrey, Bartlit Beck) asking me if I'd like to chat about the firm sometime soon.
I definitely would like to keep my options open with his firm for after I finish my clerkship, but I'm a little unsure about the propriety of setting up informational interviews right in the middle of 2L summer. I don't want to come off as flighty or uncommitted when I'm already splitting.
Any thoughts on this?
