Dear Addressee
ASPEN INSURANCE HOLDINGS LIMITED
We have been asked to provide this legal opinion to you with regard to the laws of Bermuda in connection with the offering pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined in Schedule 1) by Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited (the "Company") of its US$300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2030 (the Notes”) pursuant to the Base Indenture (as defined in Schedule 1) and as supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture (as defined in Schedule 1).
For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the originals, copies or translations of the documents listed in Schedule 1.
In giving this opinion we have relied upon the assumptions set out in Schedule 2, which we have not independently verified.
We are Bermuda Barristers and Attorneys and express no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of Bermuda in force and as interpreted at the date of this opinion.  We have not, for the purposes of this opinion, made any investigation of the laws, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction.  Except as explicitly stated herein, we express no opinion in relation to any representation or warranty contained in the Notes or the Documents nor upon matters of fact or the commercial terms of the transactions contemplated by the Notes and the Documents.
Based upon the foregoing examinations and assumptions and upon such searches as we have conducted and having regard to legal considerations which we consider relevant, and subject to the qualifications set out in Schedule 3, and under the laws of Bermuda, we give the following opinions in relation to the matters set out below.
1.The Company is an exempted company duly incorporated under the Companies Act, 1981 (as amended) (the "Companies Act") and validly exists as a company limited by shares in Bermuda. Based solely on the Certificate of Compliance referred to in Schedule 1, the Company is in good standing under the laws of Bermuda.

2.The Company has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Documents to which it is a party, to issue the Notes and to perform its obligations under the Documents and the Notes.
3.The issue of the Notes and the execution of the Documents to which the Company is a party have been duly authorised by the Company and the Documents have been duly executed by the Company. The Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party, when delivered, and the Notes, when issued and authenticated, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.
4.The issue of the Notes and the execution (where applicable), delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party, the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and the compliance by the Company with the terms and provisions thereof do not:
(a)contravene any law, or public rule or regulation of Bermuda applicable to the Company which is currently in force; or
(b)contravene the Memorandum and Bye-laws (as defined in Schedule 1).
5.The law (if any) chosen in each of the Notes and the Documents to which the Company is a party to govern their interpretation would be upheld as a valid choice of law in any action on that Document or Note in the courts of Bermuda (the "Courts" and each a "Court").
6.Based solely on a search of:
(a)the entries and filings shown in respect of the Company on the files of the Company maintained in the Register of Companies (the "Register") at the office of the Registrar of Companies (the "Registrar") conducted on the Registry Search Date (as defined in Schedule 1); and
(b)the records in respect of the Company in the Court Database (as defined in Schedule 1) conducted on the Court Search Date (as defined in Schedule 1) (the "Supreme Court Search"),
(together the "Searches") there are no judgments, actions, suits or proceedings pending against the Company before the Courts and the Searches do not reveal any steps having been taken in Bermuda for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator to, or for the winding-up, dissolution, reconstruction or reorganisation of the Company (to the extent that such steps would result in a filing with the Registrar or the Courts and such filing has been made).
This opinion is limited to the matters referred to herein and shall not be construed as extending to any other matter or document not referred to herein.  This opinion is given solely for your benefit and the benefit of your legal advisers acting in that capacity in relation to this transaction and may not be relied upon by any other person without our prior written consent.
We understand that the Company wishes to file this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement as Exhibit 5.2 and to reference this firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, and we hereby consent thereto. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit

This opinion shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Bermuda.

SCHEDULE 3
QUALIFICATIONS
1.The term "enforceable" and its cognates as used in this opinion means that the obligations assumed by any party under the Notes and the Transaction Documents are of a type which the Courts enforce.  This does not mean that those obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with their terms.  In particular:
(e)enforcement of obligations and the priority of obligations may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganisation, readjustment of debts or moratorium and other laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights of creditors or by prescription or lapse of time;
(f)enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity and, in particular, the availability of certain equitable remedies such as injunction or specific performance of an obligation may be limited where a Court considers damages to be an adequate remedy;
(g)claims may become barred under statutes of limitation or may be or become subject to defences of set-off, counterclaim, estoppel and similar defences;
(h)where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside Bermuda, they may not be enforceable in Bermuda to the extent that performance would be illegal under the laws of, or contrary to the public policy of, that jurisdiction;
(i)in the case of an insolvent liquidation of the Company, it is likely that the liquidator will convert the Company's liabilities into the principal currency in which the Company conducts its business at the exchange rate prevailing on the date on which the winding up petition is filed;
(j)to the extent that any provision of the Transaction Documents or the Notes is adjudicated to be penal in nature, it will not be enforceable in the Courts; in particular, the enforceability of any provision of the Transaction Documents or the Notes that is adjudicated to constitute a secondary obligation which imposes a detriment on the contract-breaker out of all proportion to any legitimate interest of the innocent party in the enforcement of the primary obligation may be limited;
(k)to the extent that the performance of any obligation arising under the Notes or the Transaction Documents would be fraudulent or contrary to public policy, it will not be enforceable in the Courts;
(l)a Court will not necessarily award costs in litigation in accordance with contractual provisions in this regard; and
(m)the effectiveness of terms in the Notes or the Transaction Documents excusing any party from a liability or duty otherwise owed or indemnifying that party from the consequences of incurring such liability or breaching such duty shall be construed in accordance with, and shall be limited by, applicable law, including generally applicable rules and principles of common law and equity.
2.A certificate, determination, calculation or designation of any person in the Notes or of any party to the Transaction Documents as to any matter provided therein might be held by a Court not to be conclusive, final and binding, notwithstanding any provision to that effect therein contained, for


WALKERS
Page 10
example if it could be shown to have an unreasonable, arbitrary or improper basis or in the event of manifest error.
3.If any provision of the Notes or the Transaction Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, severance of such provision from the remaining provisions will be subject to the discretion of the Courts notwithstanding any express provisions in this regard.
4.We express no opinion upon any provisions in the Memorandum and Bye-laws or any document which contains a reference to any law or statute that is not a Bermuda law or statute.
5.We express no opinion upon the effectiveness of any clause of the Transaction Documents which provides that the terms of such Document may only be amended in writing.
6.Notwithstanding any purported date of execution in any of the Notes or the Transaction Documents, the rights and obligations therein contained take effect only on the actual execution and delivery thereof but the terms of the Notes or the Transaction Documents may provide that they have retrospective effect as between the parties thereto alone or between the Company and the holder of the Notes, as the case may be.
7.The obligations of the Company may be subject to restrictions pursuant to United Nations sanctions and/or measures extended to Bermuda by statutory instrument.
8.Our opinion as to good standing is based solely upon receipt of the Certificate of Compliance, which confirms only that the Company has neither failed to make any filing with any Bermuda governmental authority nor failed to pay any Bermuda government fee or tax, which might make it liable to be struck off the Register.
9.Searches of the Register at the offices of the Registrar and of the Book at the Court Registry are not conclusive and it should be noted that the Register and the Book do not reveal:
(a)details of matters which have been lodged for filing or registration which as a matter of best practice of the Registrar or the Court Registry would have or should have been disclosed on the public file or the Book, as the case may be, but for whatever reason have not actually been filed or registered or are not disclosed or which, notwithstanding filing or registration, at the date and time the search is concluded are for whatever reason not disclosed or do not appear on the public file or the Book;
(b)details of matters which should have been lodged for filing or registration with the Registrar or at the Court Registry but have not been lodged for filing or registration at the date the search is concluded;
(c)whether an application to the Supreme Court of Bermuda for a winding-up petition or for the appointment of a receiver or manager has been prepared but not yet been presented or has been presented but does not appear in the Book at the date and time the search is concluded;
(d)whether any arbitration or administrative proceedings are pending or whether any proceedings are threatened, or whether any arbitrator has been appointed; or
(e)whether a receiver or manager has been appointed privately pursuant to the provisions of a debenture or other security, unless notice of the fact has been entered in the register of charges in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act.


WALKERS
Page 11
10.All powers of attorney granted by the Company in the Transaction Documents or the Notes must be duly executed as deeds or under seal by persons authorised to do so if governed by the laws of Bermuda.
11.We render no opinion as to the specific enforcement as against the Company of covenants granted by the Company to do or to omit to do any action or other matter which is reserved by applicable law or the Company's constitutional documents to the members of the Company or to any other person.
12.Certain of the Transaction Documents contain provisions the intention of which is to restrict the ability of certain parties to, inter alia, petition for or take any other step in relation to the winding up of the Company.  Such Transaction Documents are not governed by the laws of Bermuda.  The Courts would hear any petition to wind up the Company brought in breach of any non-petition provisions.  However, subject to any applicable provisions of the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Company could seek to restrain a threatened breach of such provision by way of an application to the Courts for an injunction.  An injunction is, however, a discretionary remedy, the grant of which is subject to a number of factors, including whether such grant would be contrary to public policy.
13.Where a document provides for an exclusive or non-exclusive jurisdiction clause submitting (or permitting the submission) to the jurisdiction of the Courts, a Court may decline to accept jurisdiction in any matter where:
(f)it determines that some other jurisdiction is a more appropriate or convenient forum;
(g)another court of competent jurisdiction has made a determination in respect of the same matter; or
(h)litigation is pending in respect of the same matter in another jurisdiction.
Proceedings may be stayed in Bermuda if concurrent proceedings in respect of the same matter are or have been commenced in another jurisdiction.
14.Where a document provides for an exclusive jurisdiction clause submitting to the jurisdiction of a court other than the Courts, notwithstanding any provision of the document providing for the exclusive jurisdiction of a court other than the Courts, the Court may, if it is satisfied that it is just and equitable to allow such proceedings to continue in Bermuda:
(i)decline to stay proceedings issued in contravention of such provision; or
(j)grant leave to serve Bermudian proceedings out of Bermuda.
15.The priority and extent of security over the assets of the Company may be affected by a merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Company.
16.We express no opinion on and our opinions are subject to the effect, if any, of any provisions of any Document or the Notes that relies upon financial or numerical computation.
17.We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of the Transaction Documents which provides for the payment of a specified rate of interest on the amount of a judgment after the date of judgment or which purports to fetter the statutory powers of the Company.
18.A receiver or manager of the Company appointed pursuant to the Transaction Documents is required to give notice to the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda within seven days of the date of


WALKERS
Page 12
order or appointment in accordance with section 60 of the Companies Act and in the form provided by the Companies (Forms) Rules 1982. On payment of the appropriate fee, the Registrar of Companies shall enter the fact of this appointment in the register of charges maintained pursuant to Part V of the Companies Act. Such a receiver or manager must be duly qualified pursuant to and comply with the provisions of Part XIV of the Companies Act.
19.The powers granted to a receiver or manager under the Transaction Documents will be ineffective or limited to the extent that they conflict with or purport to give the receiver or manager powers which are by statue reserved exclusively to the board of directors of the Company or the members of the Company, such as the power to use the common seal and power to change the registered office. The exercise of such powers will also be subject to the discretion of the Courts which is wide and exercisable on general equitable grounds.
