No. "A lawyer may not practice in a legal corporation if a nonlawyer has an interest in the corporation as a shareholder, officer, or director. However, a fiduciary representative of the estate of a lawyer may hold the stock or interest of the lawyer for a reasonable time during administration. Also, a lawyer may not participate in such a practice if her professional judgment is subject to the direction or control of a nonlawyer."

Is it a felony for a non-lawyer to open a law practice and serve as the CEO?
It is perfectly legal to open or own a law firm if you are not a lawyer. It is a crime for a non-lawyer to actually practice law. However, if the CEO is simply running the business and leaving the actual lawyers to handle the legal work, it is fine. Most law firms hire non-attorney business people to run the business side of their practice. The fact that the person creating the business is this person does not make a difference. The crime of unauthorized practice of law is generally a misdemeanor.
