Re: Goldman Sachs Trust – Goldman Sachs Global Real Estate Securities Fund

Registration Statement on Form N-14 (the “Registration Statement”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, in connection with the Trust’s Registration Statement on Form N-14 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), on January 14, 2022, relating to the transfer of all of the assets of the Goldman Sachs International Real Estate Securities Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), a series of the Trust, in exchange for the issuance of shares of beneficial interest of the Goldman Sachs Global Real Estate Securities Fund (the “Surviving Fund”), a series of the Trust (the “Shares”), and the assumption by the Surviving Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund, pursuant to the proposed reorganization as described in the Registration Statement and in the form of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by and between the Trust, on behalf of the Surviving Fund and the Acquired Fund, filed therewith. 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 and Amended and Restated By-Laws, each as amended to date.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares of the Surviving Fund to be registered under the 1933 Act have been duly authorized for issuance and, when issued to Acquired Fund shareholders in the manner described in the Registration Statement, will be validly issued and, subject to the qualifications set forth in the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, fully paid and non-assessable beneficial interests in the Surviving Fund. In this regard, we note that, pursuant to Section 2 of Article VIII of the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees have the power to cause each shareholder, or each shareholder of any particular series or class, to pay directly, in advance or arrears, for charges of the Trust’s custodian or transfer, shareholder servicing or similar agent, an amount fixed from time to time by the Trustees, by setting off such charges due from such shareholder from declared but unpaid dividends owed such shareholder and/or by reducing the number of shares in the account of such shareholder by that number of full and/or fractional shares which represents the outstanding amount of such charges due from such shareholder.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, to be filed with the SEC, 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,

/s/ Dechert LLP
