Gentlemen:
You have informed us that, in accordance with Rule 24f-2
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940
Act"), UAM Funds Trust, a Delaware business trust (the "Fund")
intends to file a Rule 24f-2 Notice with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Rule 24f-2
Notice will set forth, among other things, that during the Fund's
fiscal year ended April 30, 1997, the Fund elected to register an
indefinite number of shares of beneficial interest, sold
9,474,545 shares of beneficial interests under Rule 24f-2 and
made definite the number of shares of beneficial interest
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") for
the fiscal year.
You have also informed us that all such shares were issued
in accordance with the provisions related thereto in the
registration statement filed by the Fund under the 1933 and the
1940 Acts.
We have acted as legal counsel to the Fund during the period
of time referred to above and, as such, have reviewed the
Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Fund, its Bylaws, its
registration statement and amendments thereto as filed with the
SEC under the 1940 and the 1933 Acts, and such minutes of the
Fund's proceedings and other documents as we deem material to our
opinion.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
shares of beneficial interest of the Fund, sold pursuant to Rule
24f-2 during the fiscal year ending April 30, 1997, were fully-
paid, non-assessable and legally issued shares of beneficial
interest of the Fund.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit or
accompaniment to the aforementioned Rule 24f-2 Notice, as an
exhibit to the Fund's amendment to its registration statement
under the 1933 Act, and to the reference to us in the prospectus
of the Fund as legal counsel who has passed upon the legality of
the offering of such shares of beneficial interest. We also
consent to the filing of this opinion with the securities
regulatory agencies of any states or other jurisdiction in which
such shares of beneficial interest are offered for sale.
Very truly yours,
STRADLEY, RONON, STEVENS & YOUNG, LLP
