Miller Buckfire hires Ying as managing director

Chicago, April 21 - David Ying has joined Miller Buckfire Lewis & Co. LLC as a managing director and the firm will change its name to Miller Buckfire Lewis Ying & Co., LLC.

Ying will assist in leading the firm's business of providing financial advisory and investment banking services in large-scale corporate restructuring transactions.

Ying began his career as a restructuring advisor at Drexel Burnham Lambert in 1985 after spending seven years as a generalist investment banker at Shearson Lehman Brothers. In 1988, he became the leader of Drexel's New York-based restructuring group. In 1990, Ying moved the majority of his restructuring team to Smith Barney.

In 1993 he was recruited by Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette to head the firm's restructuring practice, and in 1997 he joined JLL Partners.

Restructurings in which Ying has been involved in the last 15 years include Advantica Restaurant Group, Grand Union, GPA Leasing, Kendall International, ICH, Interco, Memorex Telex, Merisel, Morrison Knudsen, Republic Health and U.S. Gypsum.

"David is truly one of the leading figures in financial restructuring, and we are delighted that he is returning to the advisory business as part of our team," said Henry Miller, chairman of Miller Buckfire Lewis. "Early in his career, David pioneered the out-of-court restructuring practice, and he has been one of the industry's leading advisors in this area. David's distressed investing experience supplements our existing strength in negotiating mergers and sale transactions that are vital to the reorganization efforts of many of our clients."
