Baker Investment Trust is an investment bank owned by the Baker and Lee law firm. It handles the personal fortunes of Mrs. Alma Teasdale and other partners of the law firm and other select clients. This bank works out of a suite of offices in the law firm's office building. The bank's director, Lambert Hughes, is pushing to expand the client base significantly, since so many of the other investment banks in town failed after market crash. However, New federal regulations are putting pressure on the law firm to sell off the bank.
