NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd – Registration Statement on Form F-1	10 June 2022

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We have acted as special Swiss counsel to NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd, a stock corporation incorporated under the laws of Switzerland (the “Company”), in connection with the filing of an F-1 Registration Statement filed on or around the date hereof (the “Registration Statement”), including the prospectus set forth therein, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the purpose of registering under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the resale by the Selling Shareholders (as defined in the Registration Statement) of 3,150,000 common shares, par value CHF 0.02 per share issuable and to be created upon the exercise of warrants pursuant to the terms of a securities purchase agreement, dated 13 April 2022 between the Company and the Selling Shareholders (the “Warrant Shares”).

As such counsel, we have been requested to give our opinion as to certain legal matters of Swiss law.

* Registered in the Bar Register of

the Canton of Zurich

I. Basis of Opinion

This opinion is confined to and given on the basis of the laws of Switzerland in force at the date hereof. Such laws and the interpretation thereof are subject to change. In the absence of explicit statutory law, we base our opinion solely on our independent professional judgment. This opinion is also confined to the matters stated herein and is not to be read as extending, by implication or otherwise, to any other matter.

For purposes of this opinion we have not conducted any due diligence or similar investigation as to factual circumstances, which are or may be referred to in the Documents (as defined hereafter), and we express no opinion as to the accuracy of representations and warranties of facts set out in the Documents or the factual background assumed therein.

For purposes of this opinion, we have only reviewed originals or copies of the following documents (collectively the “Documents”):

1. an electronic copy of the articles of association (Statuten) of the Company dated 31 May 2022 (the “Articles”); and

2. an electronic copy of the online excerpt from the Commercial Register of the Canton of Zurich in respect of the Company dated 9 June 2022.

No documents, other than the Documents, have been reviewed by us in connection with this opinion. Accordingly, we shall limit our opinion to the Documents and their legal implications under Swiss law.

II. Assumptions

In rendering the opinion below, we assumed:

a) no laws (other than those of Switzerland) affect any of the conclusions stated in this opinion;

b) the shareholders’ meeting of the Company will have duly resolved the increase in ordinary share capital in such amount to cover the Warrant Shares to be issued by means of an ordinary share capital increase (ordentliche Aktienkapitalerhöhung);

c) the shareholders’ meeting of the Company will have duly resolved the increase in conditional (bedingtes Aktienkapital) or authorized share capital (genehmigtes Aktienkapital) (as applicable) in such amount to cover the Warrant Shares to be issued from conditional (bedingtes Aktienkapital) or authorized share capital (genehmigtes Aktienkapital) (as applicable) within the limits of Swiss corporate law and the corresponding amendments to the Articles have been filed with the Commercial Register of the Canton of Zurich (or such other competent commercial register); and

d) the board of directors of the Company will have in respect of the Warrant Shares, validly excluded the pre-emptive rights of the existing shareholders for purposes of offering and selling the Warrant Shares.
