use an encrypted email service. there's nothing to set up. all they
need is a browser or an app on their phone.

That would require a binding contract and spend money, which they did
not want to do.

no it wouldn't. it only needs a mutual agreement to use an encrypted
medium. there are free options as well as paid ones. choose whichever
one works best for all parties involved.

Not for a lawyer, it wouldn't. He would be directly liable if the email
gets intercepted or somehow compromised.

it's actually ideal for a lawyer, since it's basically impossible to
intercept and crack end-to-end encrypted email unless the passcode is
something trivially guessed.

We know that. He may or may not, but that would be irrelevant. :-)

He needs to pay someone that says "yes, this is safe". With a contract.

not if he uses a free service that states that, which i said exist.

Not valid enough for the lawyer. He needs someone to sue.


not for every item he uses.


Something as crucial as mail? Certainly. Ask them...


I don't know about you, but I found this part quite funny, not to say
hilarious:

He needs to pay someone that says "yes, this is safe". With a contract.

not if he uses a free service that states that, which i said exist.


A *lawyer*, trusting a *free* service saying "yes, this is safe"!?

nospam at his best!
