Sure, you just couldn't do anything in the sense of practicing law. The problem is that your firm will lose credibility if the partners/owners are not even licensed.
Answer by regerugged
For practical purposes, the answer is no. To practice law, one has to have a license. Many legal issues come up during the course of the day. There would then be no one to make the legal decisions if the manager cannot. Management of a firms consists of assigning cases and making sure the staff shows up for work. I don't see how it can be a full time job.
