Handling the disease known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
The CTE disease is detected at autopsy using immunohistochemical staining technology. Pathologists search for a protein that occurs naturally in the body and is responsible for stabilizing nerve cells. There are many conditions in which the protein gathers in the brain; even just by aging. Media focus on CTE has brought public awareness to a subject that might otherwise be relegated to the world of medical literature. This white paper reviews studies on chronic traumatic encephalopathy in football players and the gap linking head injuries and neuropathological findings of CTE.

Anthony B. Corleto
Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker LLP
Tony Corleto focuses on commercial litigation, transactions and sports risk matters. His experience covers intellectual property, corporate, construction, insurance coverage and bad faith, environmental, and employment practice liability issues. He regularly tries cases and argues appeals in the state and federal courts of Connecticut and New York, including complex matters involving banking and lease finance, software disputes, development rights and brain injuries.
Before his legal career, Tony worked as a commercial casualty underwriter and risk management consultant. He also has served as general counsel for a software company where he handled copyright, trademark, trade secret and licensing matters. Tony also serves as general counsel for a nationwide sport governing body and for a nationwide environmental consultancy.
Whether Tony is managing a data breach for a gaming company or litigating traumatic brain injury claim, he looks beyond the issue of immediate concern to better understand how it originated. This allows him to help clients avoid similar problems in the future.
