U.S. Labor Laws are least likely to be of concern to Britton Manufacturing in the international marketplace as they only govern employment within the United States. When doing business overseas, Britton Manufacturing would need to follow the labor laws of each respective country they operate in. However, Contract Law, Tax Law, Product Safety Laws, and Dispute Settlement Law can all differ between countries and may require significant research and adaptation by Britton Manufacturing to comply with local regulations.
