We have acted as counsel to Baker Global Asset Management Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing of the Company’s offering statement on Form 1-A under Regulation A and Section 3(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 20, 2023 (File No. 024-12228) (as amended, the “Offering Statement”). The Offering Statement relates to the sale by the Company of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”). No opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Offering Statement or related offering circular (the “Offering Circular”), other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issuance of the Shares.

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of:

In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the information, factual matters, representations, and warranties contained in such documents. We have also assumed that the persons identified as officers of the Company are actually serving in such capacity and that the Offering Statement will be qualified by the Commission. In our examination of documents, we have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Company, had the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and, other than with respect to the Company, the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, the execution and delivery by all parties of the documents, and the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties.
