# identify legal requirements — Project Manager

For a Project Manager, 'identifying legal requirements' isn’t about *being* a lawyer, but knowing where to look and what questions to ask. Daily this means understanding how regulations impact project scope – think data privacy (GDPR, CCPA) if handling personal information, industry-specific standards (HIPAA for healthcare, PCI DSS for payments), environmental regulations for construction, or accessibility laws (WCAG) for software. It’s about proactively checking compliance *before* decisions are made, not scrambling to fix things after launch. Typical tasks include reviewing contracts for legal clauses, understanding permitting processes, and ensuring deliverables meet relevant standards.
