A questions and answers list keeps every question and response between parties together, with a clear owner for each one. It replaces long email chains and makes it easy to see what's still waiting for an answer.

When questions are raised by email, they get buried in long threads and forwarded between several people. It's hard to tell which questions have been answered properly, which need a follow-up, and who is responsible for responding.

Each question has its own row, with columns for who raised it, who needs to answer it and the response. Nothing gets lost in an inbox.

Mark each question as open, answered or needing a further response. Filtering by status shows you exactly what's outstanding before a deadline or call.

Assign each question to the person best placed to answer it. They can respond directly in Legatics, and you can see when the answer arrives.

Upload supporting documents against each response, so the evidence sits alongside the answer.

Permissions let you decide who can see and answer each question. For example, buyers in a competitive process can be kept separate from one another.

During due diligence, the buyer's questions can be routed straight to the right person on the seller's side. A "further response required" status lets the buyer push back on incomplete answers without starting a new email chain.

On a tenanted building, replies to pre-contract enquiries often arrive piecemeal. Tracking them question by question shows what's been answered, what needs a follow-up and what's still outstanding.

When the Financial Conduct Authority raises questions on an application, each one can be tracked with an owner and a deadline, so a late response doesn't hold up the regulator's review.

Verification questions for a prospectus can be tracked with each response and its supporting evidence, creating a clear record of the verification process.
