On Friday, August 29, 2025, the Administrator of the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission filed a formal complaint against Attorney Anne R. Pramaggiore. The complaint alleges that Pramaggiore engaged in misconduct warranting disciplinary action under Supreme Court Rule 770.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Anne R. Pramaggiore,” with case no. 2025PR00053.
The allegations stem from Pramaggiore’s tenure as Chief Executive Officer of Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) from March 2012 to May 2018, and as a senior executive at Exelon Corporation from June 2018 to October 2019. Central to the complaint are charges stemming from a federal indictment in which Pramaggiore and three co-defendants were accused of conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States and falsification of records, in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977.
The indictment, filed in the Northern District of Illinois, contains nine counts against Pramaggiore and her co-defendants. Specifically, Count One alleges conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, asserting that the defendants provided benefits to Illinois politician Michael Madigan to influence legislation favorable to ComEd. Counts Two, Five, Six, and Eight charge the defendants with federal bribery offenses, while Counts Three, Four, Seven, and Nine allege falsification of books and records of ComEd and Exelon.
According to the indictment, between 2011 and 2019, Pramaggiore and her co-defendants allegedly hired political allies of Madigan as “subcontractors” without justifiable work, facilitating payments through misleading contractual arrangements. The indictment claims that Pramaggiore approved contracts and invoices that misrepresented the nature of the services provided, thus concealing the actual transactions.
On December 2, 2020, Pramaggiore and her co-defendants pleaded not guilty to all counts. A jury trial held from April 5 to May 2, 2023, resulted in a guilty verdict on all nine counts. On August 27, 2024, the defendants submitted a Joint Motion for Reconsideration, asserting that a recent Supreme Court decision clarified the Bribery statute and argued their actions did not constitute quid pro quo bribery.
On March 3, 2025, U.S. District Judge Manish S. Shah vacated the convictions for Counts Two, Five, Six, and Eight, but upheld Counts One, Three, Four, Seven, and Nine, concluding that the defendants had falsified official records, regardless of the Bribery statute’s interpretation.
Following the upheld convictions, Judge Shah sentenced Pramaggiore on July 21, 2025, to 24 months in prison for the remaining counts, with the terms to run concurrently. The court recommended that she serve her sentence at the Federal Correctional Institute Mariana Satellite Camp and mandated a six-month supervised release period upon her release, which includes restrictions on communication with her co-defendants. Additionally, Pramaggiore was ordered to pay a fine of $750,000 and a $500 assessment.
The Administrator of the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission has requested that a panel of the Hearing Board be assigned to this matter and that a hearing be conducted to determine appropriate disciplinary actions based on the findings of fact and law.
According to Avvo.com, Ms. Pramaggiore is a consumer protection attorney in Barrington, Illinois. She acquired her law license in Illinois in 1989.
