Until 2020 I worked at the Faculty of Law of Moscow State University.

Together with A.E. Molotnikov, I developed and produced MSU's online course "Legal Support for Startups," which was repeatedly ranked among the top three most popular courses at Moscow State University and received the EdCrunch Award in 2016. My work has been the subject of numerous awards at the faculty and university levels.

While working at MSU, I also taught at MIPT, Plekhanov Russian Business University, and other universities and private educational institutions. I wrote numerous articles and two monographs, Startup Law (on legal issues in the IT business) and The Highrise Number One (on the history, architecture and structure of the Moscow State University main building).

I am also a practicing IT and intellectual property lawyer. Since 2019, I was recommended by Best Lawyers as one of the leading Russian specialists in the field of technology regulation. In 2020, I entered the top ten Russian experts in the digital economy and became one of the winners of the Runet Award in the category "Digital Lawyer of the Year". In 2021, the Pravo.ru-300 rating recognized me for TMT (telecommunications, media, technology).

Artificial Case: ChatGPT Helps HSE Lawyer Write Article for Academic Journal

Roman Yankovskiy, head of the Centre for Legal Education Transformation at the HSE Faculty of Law, academic supervisor of the Digital Lawyer programme, has written an article in a legal journal using ChatGPT. The experiment was agreed upon with the journal’s editorial board. The author explains why we need such an experience, whether artificial intelligence (AI) is up to the task, and whether we can prohibit its use in scientific work.
