The Private Notaries Committee of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) has approved the registration of 28 law firms and the necessary licences to practice as private notaries.

The move aims to bolster the competitiveness of the economic and investment environment and strengthen the Emirates' global position in the Ease of Doing Business Index.

The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by Yousef Saeed Alabri, Undersecretary of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, during which the committee examined operations statistics and a customer satisfaction questionnaire, which achieved a 97 per cent satisfaction rate.
