Litigation finance, often known as litigation funding, is a mechanism used to fund a legal case, usually a civil case.
This funding is done by a third party who typically has nothing whatsoever to do with the case being financed and this funding is usually done by a third party company who has considerable expertise in this. See Wikipedia for more information. There's more information here, here and here too
Depending on the litigation being financed - amounts involved, strength of case etc, considerable returns on investment can be achieved but of course there can be considerable risk involved too ie case lost, investment lost, depending on the contract with the company in charge of the funding.
Quite often though it is a short term investment as many of these types of cases are actually settled out of court!
