Derrick Cephas, a partner in Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP's corporate department in New York, chats about the broader impact of bank regulation on dealmakers, calling them "defensive" as a result of the uncertain economy. Cephas also shares his expertise on the international scope of the finance industry versus the national playing field of regulatory matters, assessing, "I think until there's some stability in the system, all the international banks are going to have to deal with both the particular issues in their home country as well as all the global issues." - Sarah Hashim-Waris
