it's about a complicated hermeneutic task

Hermeneutics - The Art Of Interpretation Of Sacred Texts

Originally, hermeneutics was developed as an auxiliary discipline in the fields that deal with the interpretation of canonical texts, i.e. texts that contain authoritative meaning such as sacred or judicial texts. Hermeneutic rules were especially required when one was confronted with ambiguous passages (ambigua) of Scripture. Some of the most influential treatises in this regard were St. Augustine of Hippo's De doctrina Christiana (427) and Philipp Melanchthon's Rhetoric (1519). Since most of these rules had to do with the nature of language, the major thinkers of the hermeneutic tradition up until the nineteenth century borrowed their guidelines from the then still very lively tradition of rhetoric, for example, the requirement that ambiguous passages should be understood within their context, a rule that later gave rise to the notion of a "hermeneutical circle" according to which the parts of a text should be comprehended out of the whole in which they stand, such as the whole of a book and its intent (scopus), of a literary genre, and of the work and life of an author. Supplying such rules, hermeneutics enjoyed a normative or regulatory function for the interpretation of canonical texts. A specific hermeneutics was developed for the Bible (hermeneutica sacra), for law (hermeneutica juris), and for classical texts (hermeneutica profana).

Well, I don't know of any synonyms but you could say " we are dealing or confronted with a dificult or complex interpretation of the law." I hope it helps :-)

or you could say: "Interpreting the law correctly in this case is a very complex task; for this reason..."
Note from asker:
Daniel, I appreciate your answer. Is there a more commonly used synonym in the same sociolinguistic register for "hermeneutic?" I want to use something that sounds more natural. Thanks.

Because the author makes references to "learned" (letrados) oponents, it may be best to leave the term within the translation.

Saludos. :))
