The purpose of the visit was to review the systems and approaches utilised by the Department in the regulation of the advocacy and legal consultancy professions in the Emirate of Dubai.

During the meeting, attended by Khamis Mubarak Al Qubaisi, Director of the Legal Department and Experts in the Judicial Department and Awadh Nassir Al Hayid, Head of the Lawyers Section, the delegation was briefed on best practices and programmes applied by the Department in the legal profession. A demonstration of the Department's Legal Profession System was given and an explanation of the Department's  regulations and by-laws that ensure legal practitioners' commitment to the best international standards, protect the clients' best interests and raise the bar of legal services provided within the Emirate.
