former director, officer, employee or agent, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action

completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,

successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

for Newell Brands Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &#147;<B><I>Company</I></B>&#148;), in connection with the Newell Brands Supplemental Employee Savings Plan (the &#147;<B><I>Plan</I></B>&#148;). In connection with the opinions expressed herein,
we have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have deemed relevant or necessary for purposes of this opinion. Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are
of the opinion that the $75,000,000 of deferred compensation obligations registered on the Registration Statement on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-8</FONT> filed by the Company on December 1, 2017 (the &#147;<B><I>Deferred</I></B><I>
</I><B><I>Compensation Obligations</I></B>&#148;), which represent general unsecured obligations to pay deferred compensation in the future in accordance with the Plan, when issued in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, will constitute valid
and binding obligations of the Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The opinion set forth above is qualified to the extent that enforceability of the obligations
with respect to any Deferred Compensation Obligations or any related documents or instruments may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer and fraudulent conveyance, voidable preference, moratorium or other similar
laws and related regulations or judicial opinions or doctrines of general applicability from time to time in effect, including those relating to or affecting creditors&#146; rights generally, and by general equitable principles or fiduciary
considerations and public policy considerations, whether such principles and considerations are considered in a proceeding at law or at equity. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The opinion expressed herein is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and we express no opinion as to the effect of
the laws of any other jurisdiction. In addition, we have assumed that the resolutions authorizing the Company to issue the Deferred Compensation Obligations in accordance with the Plan will be in full force and effect at all times at which such
Deferred Compensation Obligations are issued, and the Company will take no action inconsistent with such resolutions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We hereby consent
to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-8</FONT> filed by the Company to effect the registration of the Deferred Compensation Obligations under the Securities Act of 1933
(the &#147;<B><I>Act</I></B>&#148;). In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section&nbsp;7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P><DIV ALIGN="right">
