Simpson Thacher represents Latino Justice, the Hispanic National Bar Association and other civil rights groups supporting Lambda Legal’s appeal of a decision dismissing a challenge to the constitutionality of Puerto Rico’s codification of opposite-gender marriage. Our clients' amicus brief focused on how the decision impacts same sex Latino families, many of whom live on the mainland but have family and connections in Puerto Rico. The case is pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and is styled Conde-Vidal v. Rius Armendariz.
The Simpson Thacher team included Joe Tringali, Jeff Danley, Michael Carnevale, and Michael Brasky.
