Following a one-week jury trial in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, a federal jury returned a verdict in favor of Actava TV, Inc. in the Channel One Russia Worldwide case. The jury found Joint Stock Company “Channel One Russia Worldwide” and co-defendant Katrina liable for malicious prosecution and tortious interference, awarding Actava TV $1.5 million in compensatory damages and $3 million in punitive damages.
DOAR was retained by the trial team at Foley Hoag to develop the visual trial strategy, design and produce demonstratives, and provide “hot seat” support throughout a complex, data-intensive trial involving extensive Russian-language evidence and interpretation. DOAR’s work included the creation of a timeline that served as a central anchor during summations, while managing significant technical and language interpretation-related challenges under aggressive trial deadlines.
