On March 3, 2023, the Supreme Court of
Wisconsin publicly reprimanded Nathan E.
DeLadurantey, Brookfield. The Court also
ordered DeLadurantey to pay $17,570.10 of
costs of the disciplinary proceedings.
Disciplinary Proceedings Against
DeLadurantey, 2023 WI 17.
During a business trip for depositions in a
client matter, DeLadurantey, while
intoxicated, made repeated sexual advances
toward a subordinate attorney employed by his
firm that were clearly and repeatedly
rebuffed.
The Court held that DeLadurantey’s conduct
constituted offensive personality that not
only reflected adversely on his professional
judgment and fitness to be a member of the
legal profession, but also reflected
adversely on the reputation and integrity of
the legal profession generally.
DeLadurantey's offensive conduct in
pressuring a subordinate employee to engage
in unwanted sexual activity constituted a
violation of the Attorney's Oath, SCR 40.15,
enforceable via SCR 20:8.4(g).
