Excellence, dedication, and composure under pressure define true legal talent, and this spirit shines brightly in the remarkable achievement of Adrija Bhattacharya and teammate Sejal Joshi from Vivekanand Education Society’s College of Law, Mumbai University. The team secured the Winner position at the prestigious Client Counselling Competition 2026 organized by LJ School of Law, Ahmedabad. Adding further distinction to this success, Adrija Bhattacharya was also honoured with the coveted Best Counsel Award, marking an outstanding individual performance alongside the team victory.

Client counselling competitions are known for testing not only legal knowledge but also essential professional skills such as communication, empathy, analytical thinking, and adaptability. This competition proved to be no exception. With multiple rigorous rounds judged by experienced legal professionals, the event demanded a high level of preparedness, presence of mind, and the ability to navigate complex client scenarios with clarity and confidence.
Throughout the competition, Adrija Bhattacharya and Sejal Joshi demonstrated exceptional teamwork and a deep understanding of client-oriented legal practice. Each round brought new challenges, requiring the team to think critically, respond effectively, and maintain composure in dynamic situations. The ability to balance legal reasoning with emotional intelligence played a key role in setting the team apart from other participants.
One of the most defining moments of the competition came during the semi-final round. This stage tested not only legal acumen but also resilience and coordination under pressure. The ability to stay calm, communicate effectively, and approach the situation with a structured mindset showcased the strength of the team’s preparation and partnership. Such moments often define champions, and this team rose to the occasion with remarkable poise.
The recognition did not stop at the Winner title. Adrija Bhattacharya’s individual brilliance was acknowledged through the Best Counsel Award, a testament to exceptional counselling skills, clarity of thought, and professional conduct. This dual achievement highlights both individual excellence and the power of collaborative effort.

Competitions like these provide a platform to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. They encourage participants to develop essential skills that are crucial in real-world legal practice, including active listening, problem-solving, and client management.
The victory also came with a rewarding recognition in the form of a cash prize, making the accomplishment even more memorable. However, the true value lies in the experience gained, the lessons learned, and the confidence built through participation at such a competitive level.
