In 2015, he was promoted to the position of an associate. In 2018, in connection with the defense of his candidate’s thesis, he was awarded the status of a senior associate.

Sphere of Anatoly’s academic interests: use of digital information technologies in the course of criminal proceedings.

Anatoln's most notable courtroom accomplishments include:

• Protecting the interests of a client who suffered from the hacking of his corporate email by competitors and the subsequent leak of commercially sensitive information. After a long period of cooperation with law-enforcement agencies, he managed to have criminal proceedings initiated for illegal access to computer information (Article 272 of the Russian Criminal Code) and to carry out a number of investigative actions.
• Successful collection from the director of an organization of millions-worth losses caused by him to the company as a result of illegal and unreasonable allotment of a bonus associated with his own salary.
• Invalidation in court of a debtor's transactions on alienation of two premium-class cars made in order to hide property from a creditor even before the creditor filed a lawsuit on debt collection.
• Successful legal action against an unfair developer which initiated a lawsuit to “hang” liability for the loss of important construction documentation on the organization that it itself expelled from the construction site. The organization, a client of INTELLECT, was engaged in construction supervision and had nothing to do with the loss of the design documentation, but the developer demanded to recover from it more than 11.7 million rubles allegedly spent to duplicate the missing documents. Anatoly Zazulin together with Andrey Tishkovsky managed to prove that the developer’s claims were illegal: the court of first instance dismissed the claims, a decision that was supported also by the courts of appeal and cassation instances. If not for the lawyers’ professionalism, the claim could most probably have been satisfied.
