Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the registration of the resale of an aggregate of 16,385,922 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Arvinas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). All of the Shares are being registered on behalf of certain stockholders of the Company (the “Selling Stockholders”). The Shares consist of (i) 12,963,542 outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Outstanding Shares”) that are held by the Selling Stockholders and (ii) 3,422,380 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) issuable upon the exercise of outstanding pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) that are held by the Selling Stockholders.

We are acting as counsel for the Company in connection with the registration for resale of the Shares. We have examined signed copies of the Registration Statement as filed with the Commission. We have also examined and relied upon minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company as provided to us by the Company, the stock record books of the Company as provided to us by the Company, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, each as restated and/or amended to date, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the legal competence of all signatories to such documents.

Our opinion below, insofar as it relates to the Outstanding Shares being fully paid, is based solely on a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company confirming the Company’s receipt of the consideration called for by the applicable resolutions authorizing the issuance of such Outstanding Shares.

We assume that the appropriate action will be taken, prior to the offer and sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders, to register and qualify the Shares for sale under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws.

We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any state or jurisdiction other than the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States of America.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that (i) the Outstanding Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and (ii) the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and, when issued, delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants, including the payment of the exercise price therefor, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
