The project manager should work with the organization's legal department to identify local regulations to ensure project compliance. This is because the legal department has the expertise to understand and interpret local laws and regulations, which can vary significantly from country to country. By doing so, the project manager can ensure that the project is compliant with local laws, which will minimize potential issues with the local government.
