Tom Couch

Practice Development Lawyer & Solicitor
  • I am a Practice Development Lawyer & Solicitor within Biscoes’ Inheritance Protection department, and an Affiliate Member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP).

    I provide bespoke legal advice to individuals, families, and businesses across Biscoes’ offices on the Isle of Wight and Hampshire. My practice is dedicated to delivering exceptional client care, and my approach is characterised by meticulous attention to detail, strategic thinking, and a client-centric focus.

    Areas of Expertise:

    • Estate Planning: I am adept at offering strategic advice on Wills, Trusts, Inheritance Tax and other tax matters.
    • Estate Administration: I am proficient in managing deceased’s estates with precision and empathy, from the point of instruction, through to final estate distribution.
    • Later Life Planning: I specialise in a wide array of issues affecting the elderly and vulnerable individuals, including Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), Advanced Directives, and care planning.

    What do you do away from the office?

    Away from the office, my personal interests generally encompass a love for sport, both participating and spectating. Running, surfing, and stand up paddle boarding are huge passions of mine, but I am also an ardent badminton and tennis player. Outside of extra-curricular activities, I love to spend time with my friends and family at home on the Isle of Wight.

  • As a Practice Development Lawyer in Biscoes’ Inheritance Protection department, I play a key part in shaping internal policies, maintaining and enhancing firm-wide precedents, and overseeing knowledge management.

    With a deep understanding of estate planning, estate administration, trusts, and taxation, I ensure that Biscoes’ lawyers in the Inheritance Protection department have access to the most up-to-date legal resources and best practices. By developing comprehensive precedents and guidance, I help to streamline client service while maintaining the highest professional standards.

    In addition to legal research and drafting, I am also actively involved in training initiatives, ensuring that Biscoes’ Inheritance Protection department stays ahead of legal developments.
