Aside from animal liberation-style direct action activities, the things that most readily comes to my mind are labor law/employment law.
Hypothetical example: An organization having a team retreat in Mexico, in which they (employees who are not citizens of Mexico and who do not have the legal right to work in Mexico) do some work on their laptops. This seems very minor to me, and the risk of local tax authorities coming after some people doing a few hours of work on laptops while hanging out in their Airbnb seems miniscule. But it is something that employees travelling internationally for a team retreat should probably be aware of.
Similar issues would arise with a nomadic team, that moves around from country to country.
However, I don’t view this as a major concern within the EA community. I’m responding more so to the idea of “are there any laws EA orgs might ask their employees to break,” rather than the idea of “which of these are concerns worth bothering about.”
