I hesitate to nitpick with regard to something legal, given your username, but what makes this different from hiring a consultant with the agreement that their final output belongs to you, but you don't get access to their internal processes, tooling, notes, etc? Or a photographer where you get final edited prints, but you don't get the raw photos?

For example if the other side files a motion and your lawyer has to argue against it, they’ll bill you for it. Sure you can set spending limits, just like you can make an account and give it a limited amount of credits.
