The latest passenger on Paul Hastings’ self-described “lateral gravy train” is Jonathan Drimmer, who joined the firm as a partner Monday from Barrick Gold Corp., one of the world’s largest gold mining companies.

Drimmer said he was attracted to Paul Hastings by the firm’s entrepreneurial spirit and its leading anticorruption team. Drimmer will work in Paul Hastings’ investigations and white-collar defense practice from Washington, D.C.
