Re:

Registration Statement on Form N-1A

Dear Sir or Madam:

As counsel for Lattice Strategies Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), we are familiar with the Trust’s registration statement on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) (File No. 333-199089), and under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (File No. 811-23002), and amendments thereto (collectively, the “Registration Statement”) relating to the shares of beneficial interest (the “Shares”) of the authorized series of the Trust to be issued and sold by the Trust. We have examined such governmental and corporate certificates and records as we deemed necessary to render this opinion, and we are familiar with the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, as amended to date, and By-Laws.

Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and sold at the public offering price contemplated by the Registration Statement and delivered by the Trust against receipt of the net asset value of the Shares, will be issued as fully paid and nonassessable Shares of the Trust.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and to the use of our name in the Registration Statement, unless and until we revoke such consent. In giving such consent, however, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Very truly yours,
