Miller Buckfire was founded in July 2002 as Miller Buckfire Lewis & Co. by Henry Miller, Kenneth Buckfire and Martin Lewis, who previously led the restructuring groups at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein and Wasserstein Perella & Co. Following the acquisition of Wasserstein Perella by Dresdner Kleinwort Benson in 2001, Miller, Buckfire and Lewis found they were being precluded from many restructuring assignments due to conflicts with Dresdner's loan portfolio. As a result, the trio acquired their business through a spinout from Dresdner and launched Miller Buckfire as an independent firm.
