Dubai has launched a comprehensive digital transformation initiative for its legal sector through the introduction of the Legal Profession System. This integrated platform, developed by the Government of Dubai Legal Affairs Department, consolidates all regulatory and administrative services for advocates and legal consultants into a single digital interface.
The innovative system represents a significant advancement in government service delivery, eliminating the previous requirement for legal professionals to navigate multiple entities for approvals. The platform streamlines critical processes including new practitioner registration, license renewals, modifications to license details, and applications for law firms operating within the emirate.
Key features of the system include substantial document reduction through process re-engineering, automated internal assessments, and seamless integration with other government entities. This interoperability enables coordinated processing of requests, particularly for law firms seeking changes to their operational structure or licensing status.
Dr. Lowai Mohamed Belhoul, Director General of the Legal Affairs Department, emphasized the department’s commitment to enhancing service accessibility and efficiency through modern digital tools. The initiative reflects Dubai’s strategic direction toward digitizing government services while improving institutional performance and reducing administrative burdens.
The platform is accessible through the Legal Affairs Department’s official website and smart application, utilizing UAE Pass digital identity for secure authentication. Future developments will incorporate additional features and services as the department continues its digital transformation journey.
