*284OPINION OF THE COURT
Per Curiam.The application by the petitioner, the Grievance Committee for the Ninth Judicial District (hereinafter the Grievance Committee), to impose reciprocal discipline is predicated upon an order of the Supreme Court of New Jersey dated July 23, 2008 (196 NJ 352, 953 A2d 1201 [2008]), which suspended the respondent from the practice of law in New Jersey, suspended the suspension, and placed the respondent on probation for a period of one year, commencing as of the date of the order, with the condition that he remain free of any further charges of misconduct. The respondent failed to notify this Court that he had been disciplined in a foreign jurisdiction, as required by 22 NYCRR 691.3 (e), until he submitted an attorney information form, in connection with an unrelated matter, dated August 10, 2010.
The respondent was personally served with written notice pursuant to 22 NYCRR 691.3 and Judiciary Law § 90 (6) on October 27, 2010. He served a verified statement pursuant to 22 NYCRR 691.3 (c) (3) dated November 10, 2010, in which he did not raise any of the enumerated defenses to discipline or demand a hearing. Rather, the respondent requested that the Court consider, in mitigation, the affidavit and business letters he submitted in New Jersey regarding his “unblemished career and . . . exemplary service to the community.” Thus, there is no impediment to the imposition of reciprocal discipline at this juncture.
The New Jersey order reflects that the respondent participated in prohibited fee-sharing, whereby nonlawyer employees of his now-defunct law firm received shares of legal fees, classified as “bonuses,” when they referred cases to the firm. In addition, the respondent gave less-than-candid testimony about the fee-sharing at an administrative hearing before the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Division of Wage and Hour Compliance, which created a “misapprehension” by the tribunal as to the payment of said “bonuses.” The respondent failed to take action to correct the tribunal’s “misapprehension.” Similar “dissembling” was noted in connection with the respondent’s disciplinary proceeding. Finally, the respondent failed to exercise appropriate oversight over firm finances, resulting in the director of administration, and other staff, misappropriating more than $2 million of fiduciary funds.
*285The respondent was ultimately found guilty of violating New Jersey Rules of Professional Conduct rules 3.3 (a) (5) (failing to disclose a material fact to a tribunal); 5.1 (c) (1) (ordering or ratifying another lawyer’s conduct); 5.3 (a) (failing to adopt and maintain reasonable efforts concerning conduct of retained or employed nonlawyers); 5.3 (b) (failing to directly supervise conduct of retained or employed nonlawyers); 5.4 (a) (engaging in prohibited fee sharing); 7.3 (d) (engaging in improper fee sharing); 8.1 (b) (failing to disclose fact necessary to correct misapprehension); 8.3 (a) (failing to report professional misconduct of another); 8.4 (a) (engaging in or knowingly assisting or inducing professional misconduct); 8.4 (c) (engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation); and 8.4 (d) (engaging in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice).
Inasmuch as the respondent asserted none of the enumerated defenses to the imposition of reciprocal discipline, the Grievance Committee’s application is granted and the respondent is suspended from the practice of law for a period of one year nunc pro tunc to August 10, 2010, the date on the attorney information form completed by the respondent in connection with an unrelated matter, in which he discloses his New Jersey suspension.
