SAN FRANCISCO — A long-awaited team of five corporate lawyers has joined Bingham McCutchen’s Silicon Valley office.

Partner James Chapman and of counsel Stephen Clinton come to the firm from Foley & Lardner, and partner Michael DiSanto is moving from the Cincinnati office of Dinsmore & Shohl with associate Nathan Hagler. In addition, Chapman recruited associate Tiffany Hsu. With expertise in technology, life sciences, cleantech and emerging companies, the hires are the product of a more than two-year search for the right corporate lawyers to build with in the Valley, said Steven Browne, co-chair of Bingham’s corporate group.
