Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel for HealthLynked Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the resale from time to time by Iconic Holdings LLC (the “Selling Stockholder”) of up to 21,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to be issued and sold at the discretion of the Company to the Selling Stockholder under an Investment Agreement dated as of July 11, 2016 (the “Investment Agreement”). The Shares are included in a registration statement on Form S–1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 14, 2017 (the “Registration Statement”). This opinion is delivered pursuant to the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

 

In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have examined the Registration Statement.  We have also examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such corporate and other records, agreements, documents and other instruments and have made such other investigations as we deemed relevant and necessary in respect of the authorization and issuance of the Shares, and such other matters as we deemed appropriate.  We have also assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.  

 

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions expressed herein, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the issue and sale of the Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and upon issuance, delivery and payment therefor in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Investment Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

We are opining herein as to the Nevada Private Corporations Chapter of the Nevada Revised Statutes, Nev. Rev. Stat. 78, including interpretations thereof in published decisions of the Nevada courts, and we express no opinion with respect to any other laws.

 

This opinion is given as of the date hereof and we have no obligation to update this opinion to take into account any change in applicable law or facts that may occur after the date hereof.

 

We hereby consent to be named in the Registration Statement, as amended from time to time, as the attorneys who will pass upon legal matters in connection with the issuance of the Shares, and to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.  In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules of the Commission.

 

Very truly yours,
