"He gets by doing the bare minimum to insure that he wont get sued for negligence" is how the term may be used in English. The law part can be inserted as well in the following manner: His M.O. is (or his rule is) to get by doing the bare minimum...

It is true that there is no common phrase like ejercer la ley de mínimo esfuerzo, but it certainly can be translated.
