Jonathan Weld, of counsel in the Asset Management Group and based in New York, was featured in a May 7 Reuters story on the impact of the federal government's "stress tests" on potential banking mergers. The article suggested that US regulators may force bank mergers and asset sales to fill multi-billion dollar capital holes exposed by their stress tests. But Weld cautioned, "You don't want to put two stones together and see if they float. You would only want to put together a strong organization and a weaker one if you thought that you could restructure it and emerge with a strong single entity."
