Pappani has joined from Deloitte Real Estate, with 22 years of development consultancy, procurement and transactions experience, the firm said.

He was most recently lead commercial adviser on High Speed Two, culminating in the appointment of Lendlease as the development partner for a major regeneration of Euston station.

Marshall has also joined from Deloitte Real Estate, where he had a public sector focus.

'Development consultancy is an area of growth for Gerald Eve, and we have been investing in talent to ensure our clients receive the very best in advice and service,' said Rob Fourt, partner at Gerald Eve.

'The arrivals of Adam and Tom further strengthen our market-leading capabilities, and their wide experience and expertise will help development our multi-disciplinary business in this field,' Fourt added.

The appointments follow the recent appointment of Hari Sothinathan as partner, as part of a strategy to expand the firm’s London and national public sector client base.
