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.

Felony? Not likely. It may be illegal to practice law without a license but running a firm is different than handling matters, giving advice and representing clients. Each state will have different rules so check the ethical rules for the state where you're intending to establish the practice.
