          REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-3
          ----------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to TeleTech Holdings, Inc., a Delaware 
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, under the Securities Act of 
1933, as amended, of the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the 
"Registration Statement") relating to the proposed offering of 410,457 shares 
of Common Stock, par value $.01 (the "Common Stock"), of the Company by 
certain selling shareholders.

     As such counsel, we have examined such agreements, resolutions, 
documents and certificates of or executed by officers and directors of the 
Company, and such other records, documents and instruments as we deemed 
relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinion hereafter expressed.  In 
such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the 
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity 
to original documents of all documents submitted to us as conformed or 
photostatic copies.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of 
Common Stock that are the subject of the Registration Statement have been 
duly and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the 
Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the heading 
"Legal Matters" in the Prospectus comprising a part of the Registration 
Statement.

     Please be advised that certain partners of and attorneys associated with 
our firm, beneficially own shares of Common Stock.

                              Very truly yours,

                              /s/ NEAL, GERBER & EISENBERG
