Lifnay iver is definitely a shaila. There may be heteirm but you’re not correct that it’s a non-issue. If you represent a plaintiff litigating against a Jew without a heter arkaos, because of lifney iver, minimally you need to try to convince him to not violate the issur arkaos and to use beis din. If you can’t convince him perhaps there’s a heter to represent him since he’ll do it anyways without you.

And regarding misayeah, while there are some limited heteirm on some types of mesayeah, regarding violating the prohibition of arkaos the SA I cited above specifically and very clearly says anyone who assists someone else to violate the issur arkaos is put in cherem.
