Yes if his role is not direct and he is not required to devote any time thereon.

An advocate shall not personally engage in any business but he may be a sleeping partner in a firm doing business provided that in the opinion of the appropriate State Bar Council, the nature of the business is not inconsistent with the dignity of the profession.
