The legal issues are obviously regional based, but most of them would be universal.

Off the top of my head.

* Ensure that your workplace is a physically safe place. ie enough lighting, correct furnishing etc.

* The data you are working with is protected adequately. ie A separate room with lockable door and window.

* The infrastructure is adequate. ie internet, electricity, water and toileting.

* Insurable if something goes wrong.

* How your work time is measured. This is particular important if your industry is covered by union rules.
