Kharissa Jacobsen

Kharissa Jacobsen advises high-net-worth individuals, their families and closely held businesses on complex estate planning, helping clients protect their wealth and plan thoughtfully for its transfer. Based in Nashville, Kharissa is a member of Holland & Knight's Private Wealth Services Group.

Kharissa came to the Firm with a strong grounding in trusts and estates. During law school, she served as a law clerk for a boutique trusts and estates law firm in Nashville, Tennessee, where she worked directly on estate planning matters. As an associate editor for the Belmont Law Review, she wrote her law review paper on Tennessee Investment Services Trusts, studying how these structures can shield family wealth from future creditors. That early practical and academic grounding shapes the attentive guidance she gives clients today.
