Exhibit 5.1

November _____, 2011
 

ROI Acquisition Corp.
9 West 57th Street
New York, New York 10019

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to ROI Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), of (i) 7,500,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), and one warrant to purchase one share of the Common Stock (the "Warrants") to the underwriters for whom Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. is acting as representative (collectively, the "Underwriters"), (ii) up to 1,125,000 Units (the "Over-Allotment Units") which the Underwriters will have a right to purchase from the Company to cover over-allotments, if any, (iii) all shares of Common Stock and all Warrants issued as part of the Units and Over-Allotment Units and (iv) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants included in the Units and Over-Allotment Units.

We have reviewed copies of the Registration Statement, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant, the By-laws of the Registrant and resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Registrant.  We have also reviewed such other documents and made such other investigations as we have deemed appropriate.  As to various questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon statements, representations and certificates of officers or representatives of the Registrant, public officials and others. We have not independently verified the facts so relied on.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1.           the Units, the Over-Allotment Units, the Warrants and the Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement, when issued and sold in accordance with and in the manner described in the Registration Statement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and

We do not express any opinion with respect to any law other than the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the laws of the State of New York.  This opinion is rendered only with respect to the laws and legal interpretations and the facts and circumstances in effect on the date hereof.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement.  In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 
Very truly yours,
