Ascendant Law Group

Listen to this article

Ascendant Law Group was established seven years ago as a boutique legal practice specializing in civil/commercial litigation, dispute resolution, bankruptcy, creditors’ rights, and out-of-court workouts. Under the co-leadership of Jesse I. Redlener, the three-attorney firm takes pride in delivering sophisticated legal representation without the bureaucratic constraints of larger institutions.

Founded on the principle that exceptional client service can coexist with attorney autonomy, Ascendant has created a platform where legal expertise thrives in a streamlined environment. The firm’s attorneys bring big-firm experience and responsiveness to a nimbler practice setting, allowing them to scale and tailor their services to meet specific client needs.

Navigating the challenges of establishing a new practice, the team has successfully balanced legal acumen with operational efficiency. They’ve implemented innovative solutions by leveraging cloud-based technologies and strategically outsourcing administrative functions like accounting and back-office support.

Among their proudest accomplishments is securing a significant settlement for creditors of a bankrupt entity after years of complex litigation. That victory exemplifies the firm’s collaborative approach, drawing on their combined expertise in bankruptcy and litigation to exceed client expectations.

Beyond client work, Ascendant’s attorneys maintain active roles in local bar associations, serve on committees and panels, and mentor emerging legal talent. Their commitment to community extends to significant pro bono representation for indigent clients and longtime involvement coaching youth sports.

The firm embraces flexibility through a technology-forward infrastructure that enables attorneys to work remotely while maintaining exceptional client service. Their cloud-based systems for communications, document management and client interactions reflect a deliberate strategy to balance professional demands with personal well-being.
