Exhibit 5.1
May 14, 2026
NextPlat Corp
400 Ansin Blvd. Suite A
Hallandale Beach, FL 33009
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to NextPlat Corp, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 333-292211 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement, which was declared effective on January 8, 2026, relates to the issuance and sale from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, of, among other securities, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
We have also acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the issuance, offer, and sale from time to time of up to an aggregate of $3,738,706 of Common Stock (the “Shares”), pursuant to the At The Market Offering Agreement, dated May 13, 2026, by and between the Company and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, as sales agent (the “ATM Agreement”).
This opinion letter is being delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.
In connection with our opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement, including the exhibits thereto, the ATM Agreement, and such other documents, corporate records and instruments, and have examined such laws and regulations, as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion. In making our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the legal capacity of all natural persons. As to matters of fact material to our opinions in this letter, we have relied on certificates and statements from officers and other employees of the Company, public officials and other appropriate persons.
For purposes of the opinion set forth below, we have assumed that the Shares are issued for a price per share equal to or greater than the minimum price authorized by the Company’s board of directors prior to the date hereof, and that in the future the Company does not issue shares of Common Stock, or reduce the total number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue under its certificate of incorporation, such that the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock under the Company’s certificate of incorporation is less than the number of unissued Shares that may be issued for such minimum price.
Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, when issued by the Company and delivered by the Company against payment therefor as contemplated by the ATM Agreement and a Sales Notice or Terms Agreement (each as defined in the ATM Agreement), will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
The foregoing opinions are limited to Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.
The opinions expressed in this opinion letter are as of the date of this opinion letter only and as to laws covered hereby only as they are in effect on that date, and we assume no obligation to update or supplement such opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may come to our attention after that date or any changes in law that may occur or become effective after that date. The opinions herein are limited to the matters expressly set forth in this opinion letter, and no opinion or representation is given or may be inferred beyond the opinions expressly set forth in this opinion letter.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the Company filed May 14, 2026, and to the reference to us under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus supplement with respect to the Shares and under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus contained 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 Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/ ArentFox Schiff, LLP
