2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS
AND OUR ANNUAL MEETING

Q:          Why am I receiving these materials?

A:          The Board of Directors (the Board) of Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated, a Maryland corporation (Jones Lang LaSalle, which may sometimes be referred to as the Company or as we, us or our), is providing these proxy materials to you in connection with the Company's 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (including any adjournments or postponements, the Annual Meeting). The Annual Meeting will take place at 8:30 a.m. local time, on Thursday, May 26, 2011, at offices of our Company located at 601 Lexington Avenue, 33^rd Floor, New York, New York. We have first released this Proxy Statement to our shareholders on or about April 15, 2011.

              As one of our shareholders, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting. You are also entitled to vote on each of the matters we describe in this Proxy Statement.

              A proxy is the legal designation you give to another person to vote the shares of stock you own. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document is called a proxy card. We have designated three of our officers as proxies for our Annual Meeting: Colin Dyer, Lauralee E. Martin and Mark J. Ohringer. We are asking you to designate each of them separately as a proxy to vote your shares on your behalf.

Q:          Why is the Company making these materials available over the Internet rather than mailing them?

A:          Under the "Notice and Access Rule" that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) has adopted, we furnish proxy materials to our shareholders on the Internet rather than mailing printed copies of those materials to each shareholder. This helps us meet our environmental goals and it will save significant postage, printing and processing costs. If you received a Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials (Notice of Internet Availability) by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of our proxy materials unless you specifically request one. Instead, the Notice of Internet Availability will instruct you about how you may (1) access and review our proxy materials on the Internet and (2) access your proxy card to vote on the Internet.

              We anticipate that we will mail the Notice of Internet Availability to our shareholders on or about April 15, 2011.

Q:         What information does this Proxy Statement contain?

A:          The information in this Proxy Statement relates to (1) the proposals on which our shareholders will vote at the Annual Meeting and (2) the voting process.

Q:         What other information are you furnishing with this Proxy Statement?

•

Proposal 1: The election of eleven directors to serve one-year terms until the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders;



•

Proposal 2: Approval, by non-binding advisory vote, of executive compensation ("say-on-pay");

•

Table of Contents

•

FOR a one-year frequency of future executive compensation votes;



•

FOR the amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation serving to permit the holders of 30% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock to call a special meeting of shareholders; and



•

FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2011.

Q:         What shares may I vote?

A:          Only shareholders of record of Jones Lang LaSalle's Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the Common Stock), at the close of business on Friday, March 18, 2011 (the Record Date), are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters voted upon by shareholders and is entitled to vote for as many persons as there are Directors to be elected. Based on the information we have received from BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, our transfer agent and stock registrar, there were 42,909,884 voting shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date. The shares of our Common Stock are held in approximately 450 registered accounts. According to Broadridge Investor Communications, those registered accounts represent approximately 50,762 beneficial owners (which we believe includes the number of individual holders in certain mutual funds that hold our shares).

Q:         What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

A:          Most Jones Lang LaSalle shareholders hold their shares through a broker or other nominee rather than directly in their own names. There are some distinctions between (1) shares you hold of record in your own name and (2) those you own beneficially through a broker or nominee, as follows:

Shareholder of Record

If your shares are registered directly in your name with Jones Lang LaSalle's stock registrar, BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, then with respect to those shares we consider you to be the shareholder of record. As a shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the Company or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owner

If you hold shares in a brokerage account or by a trustee or another nominee, then we consider you to be the beneficial owner of shares held "in street name," and we are furnishing these proxy materials to you through your broker, trustee or nominee. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or nominee how to vote and we are also inviting you to attend the Annual Meeting.

Since a beneficial owner is not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a "legal proxy" from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting. Your broker, trustee or nominee has enclosed or provided instructions to you on how to vote your shares.

Table of Contents

Q:         How can I attend the Annual Meeting?

A:          You are entitled to attend the Annual Meeting only if you were a Jones Lang LaSalle shareholder as of the close of business on Friday, March 18, 2011 or you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. You should be prepared to present a photo identification for admittance. In addition, if you are a shareholder of record, we will verify your name against the list of shareholders of record on the Record Date prior to admitting you to the Annual Meeting. If you are not a shareholder of record but hold shares through a broker, trustee or nominee (in street name), you should provide proof of beneficial ownership on the Record Date, such as your most recent account statement prior to March 18, 2011, a copy of the voting instruction card furnished to you, or other similar evidence of ownership. If you do not provide photo identification or comply with the other procedures outlined above upon request, we will not admit you to the Annual Meeting.

Q:         How can I vote my shares in person at the Annual Meeting?

A:          You may vote in person at the Annual Meeting those shares you hold in your name as the shareholder of record. You may vote in person at the Annual Meeting shares you hold beneficially in street name only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

Q:         How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

A:          Whether you hold shares directly as the shareholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may direct how your shares are voted without attending the Annual Meeting. Shareholders may deliver their proxies either:

1.

Electronically over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com;



2.

By telephone (please see your proxy card for instructions); or



3.

By requesting, completing and submitting a properly signed paper proxy card as outlined in the Notice of Internet Availability.

Q:         May I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

A:          You may change your vote at any time prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the shareholder of record, you may change your vote by:

1.

Granting a new proxy bearing a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy);



2.

Providing a written notice of revocation prior to your shares being voted; or



3.

Attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

4

---

Table of Contents

              A written notice of revocation must be sent to our Corporate Secretary at the address of our principal executive office, which we provide above. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request. For shares you hold beneficially in street name, you may change your vote (1) by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, trustee or nominee or (2) if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, trustee or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

Q:         Who can help answer my questions?

A:          If you have any questions about the Annual Meeting or how to vote or revoke your proxy, please contact Broadridge Investor Communications at +1.631.254.7400.

              If you need additional copies of this Proxy Statement or voting materials, please contact Broadridge Investor Communications at the number above or the Company's Investor Relations team at +1.312.228.2430.

Q:         How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?

A:          The quorum requirement for holding the Annual Meeting and transacting business is that holders of a majority of shares of our Common Stock that are issued and outstanding and are entitled to vote must be present in person or represented by proxy.

Q:         What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

A:          The Company has established a majority-vote standard for the election of Directors. Accordingly, in order to be elected, each Director must receive at least a majority of the votes cast for him or her by holders of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. There is no cumulative voting for Directors.

              The affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of votes cast by holders of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be necessary to:

•

Approve the non-binding advisory "say-on-pay" vote approving executive compensation; and



•

Ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2011.

              The frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation (namely, every one, two or three years) receiving the greatest number of votes will be considered the frequency recommended by shareholders.

              Under the terms of our Articles of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of eighty percent (80%) of the total number of shares outstanding on the Record Date will be necessary to approve the amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to permit the holders of 30% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock to call a special meeting of shareholders.

5

Table of Contents

              Although the advisory votes on executive compensation and the frequency of future voting on executive compensation are non-binding, our Board will review the results of the votes and, consistent with our philosophy of shareholder engagement, will take them into account in making a determination concerning executive compensation and the frequency of such advisory voting in the future.

Q:         How are votes counted?

A:          For the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, we will count shares of Common Stock represented in person or by properly executed proxy. We will treat shares which abstain from voting as to a particular matter and broker non-votes (defined below) as shares that are present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, but we will not count them as votes cast on such matter.

              Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect in determining whether Director nominees have received the requisite number of affirmative votes.

              Abstentions and broker non-votes will also have no effect on the voting with respect to the approval of the non-binding vote on executive compensation, the non-binding vote with respect to the frequency of future votes on executive compensation or the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP.

              Since 80% of the total number of outstanding shares (as opposed to votes cast) must be voted in favor of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to permit the holders of 30% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock to call a special meeting of shareholders, an abstention or a broker non-vote has the effect of voting against this proposal.

              A "broker non-vote" occurs when a broker does not vote on a matter on the proxy card because the broker does not have discretionary voting power for that particular matter and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

Q:         What happens if I sign but do not give specific voting instructions on my proxy?

A:          If you hold shares in your own name and you submit a proxy without giving specific voting instructions, the proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by our Board on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement.

              If you hold shares through a broker, trustee or other nominee and do not provide your broker with specific voting instructions, under the rules that govern brokers in such circumstances, your broker will not have the authority to exercise discretion to vote your shares with respect to Proposal 1 (election of Directors), Proposal 2 ("say-on-pay"), Proposal 3 ("say-on-frequency" of voting) or Proposal 4 (the amendment of our Articles of Incorporation), but will have the authority to exercise discretion to vote your shares with respect to Proposal 5 (ratification of KPMG LLP).

Q:         What happens if a Director does not receive a majority of the votes cast for him or her?

A:          Under our By-Laws, if a Director does not receive the vote of at least the majority of the votes cast, that Director will promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board. Our Nominating and

Table of Contents

Governance Committee will then make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board is required to take action with respect to the resignation, and publicly disclose its rationale, within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results. We provide additional details about our majority voting procedures under "Corporate Governance Principles and Board Matters" below.

Q:         What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A:          There are circumstances under which you may receive more than one Notice of Internet Availability. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you may receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a shareholder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one Notice. Please vote each different proxy you receive, since each one represents different shares that you own.

Q:         Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

A:          We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and then disclose the final results in a Form 8-K filing with the SEC within four business days after the date of the Annual Meeting.

Q:         What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year's Annual Meeting of Shareholders or to nominate individuals to serve as Directors?

A:          Shareholder proposals, including nominations for individuals to serve as directors, intended to be presented at the 2012 Annual Meeting and included in Jones Lang LaSalle's Proxy Statement and form of proxy relating to that Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) must be received by Jones Lang LaSalle at our principal executive office by December 14, 2011. Our Bylaws require that proposals of shareholders made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be submitted not later than February 24, 2012 and not earlier than January 25, 2012.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES AND BOARD MATTERS

              Our policies and practices reflect corporate governance initiatives that we believe comply with:

•

The listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), on which our Common Stock is traded;

•

The corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as currently in effect;

•

SEC regulations; and

•

The General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland, where Jones Lang LaSalle is incorporated.

              We maintain a corporate governance section on our public website, www.joneslanglasalle.com, which includes key information about the corporate governance initiatives that are set forth in our:

•

By-Laws;

•

Corporate Governance Guidelines;

•

Charters for each of the three standing Committees of our Board of Directors described below;

•

Statement of Qualifications of Members of the Board of Directors; and

•

Code of Business Ethics.

              We will make any of this information available in print to any shareholder who requests it in writing from our Corporate Secretary at the address of our principal executive office set forth above.

              The Board of Directors regularly reviews corporate governance developments and modifies our By-Laws, Guidelines and Committee Charters accordingly. Our Code of Business Ethics applies to all employees of the Company, including all of our executive officers, as well as to the members of our Board of Directors.

              Jones Lang LaSalle is committed to the values of effective corporate governance and the highest ethical standards. We believe that these values will promote the best long-term performance of the Company for the benefit of our shareholders, clients, staff and other constituencies. To this end, over the past years we have adopted the following significant corporate governance policies and practices, which we then discuss in more detail below:

•

Annual elections of all Directors;

•

Majority voting in Director elections;

•

Separation of Chairman and CEO roles, with the Chairman serving as Lead Independent Director;

17

Table of Contents

•

Required approval by the Nominating and Governance Committee of any related-party transactions;

•

Executive session among the Non-Executive Directors at each in-person meeting;

•

Director orientation and continuing education program; and

•

Annual self-assessment by the Board and annual assessment of the Board by senior management.

              If approved at this year's Annual Meeting, we will also amend our charter to provide that shareholders owning 30% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock would be able call a special meeting of shareholders.

Information about the Board of Directors and Corporate Governance

              The Board, whose members our shareholders elect annually, is the ultimate decision-making body of the Company except with respect to those matters reserved to the shareholders either by applicable law, our Articles of Incorporation or our By-Laws. The Board elects the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer and certain other members of the senior management team. Senior management is responsible for conducting the Company's business under the oversight of the Board to enhance the long-term value of the Company for the benefit of its shareholders. The Board acts as an advisor and counselor to the Company's senior management and monitors its performance.

Director Independence

              A majority of our Board consists of independent Directors. All of the members of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees of our Board are independent Directors. For a Director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the Director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. The Board observes all criteria for independence and experience established by the NYSE (including Rule 303A in its Listed Company Manual) and by other governing laws and regulations.

              The Board has determined that Hugo Bagué, Darryl Hartley-Leonard, DeAnne Julius, Ming Lu, Martin H. Nesbitt, Sheila A. Penrose, David B. Rickard and Thomas C. Theobald, all of whom are current members of our Board, are independent according to the criteria we describe above. These are the Directors we describe in this Proxy Statement as being Non-Executive Directors (meaning Directors we do not otherwise employ as Corporate Officers).

Review of Relationships and Related Transactions

              The Board regularly reviews any relationships that a Director may have with the Company (other than solely in his or her role as a member of the Board), including how any such relationships may impact his or her independence in the case of Non-Executive Directors.

              After a review of the written responses from our Directors to inquiries from the Company, and based on the Company's records, the only such relationships of which we are aware with respect to the nominees for election at the 2011 Annual Meeting are the two matters we specifically disclose below under "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" with respect to Mr. Theobald, a

18

Table of Contents

Non-Executive Director, and Mr. Staubach, a member of Company management who is therefore not an independent Director.

              With respect to Mr. Theobald, the relationship involves his investment in a vehicle that provides co-investment capital to certain funds sponsored by our LaSalle Investment Management subsidiary. Mr. Theobald made his investment on the same terms and conditions available to other similarly situated investors. Moreover, the investment does not involve an amount of money that is material from a financial standpoint either to Mr. Theobald individually or to the Company. Therefore, the Board believes that the relationship does not constitute a material relationship with the Company that detracts from Mr. Theobald's independence.

Non-Executive Chairman of the Board; Lead Independent Director

              Since January 1, 2005, Sheila A. Penrose, a Non-Executive Director, has held the role of the Chairman of the Board. The Board has determined that Ms. Penrose will also serve as the Lead Independent Director of the Board for purposes of the NYSE's corporate governance rules.

              In her role as Chairman of the Board, Ms. Penrose's duties include the following:

•

Chair Board meetings and encourage constructive engagement and open communications;

•

Preside over regularly scheduled executive sessions of our Non-Executive Directors;

•

Coordinate the activities of, and facilitate communications among, our Non-Executive Directors;

•

Chair our annual shareholders' meetings;

•

Establish each Board meeting agenda, consulting with the Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel, and ensure that the agenda and materials are complete, timely and address the key priorities of the Company and its Board;

•

Represent the Company with clients and shareholders as required;

•

Act as a mentor and confidant to the Chief Executive Officer in support of his successful performance, attend internal Company meetings as required and encourage direct communications between the Chief Executive Officer and individual members of the Board; and

•

Maintain regular and open dialogue with Board members between meetings.

              The Board considers the election of a Chairman annually, immediately following each Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In May 2010 the Board extended the term of Ms. Penrose's appointment to the date of the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, at which time the Board will re-evaluate whether to further extend her appointment.

              The Board has determined that each person who serves as Chairman of the Board from time to time, if that person is independent, will automatically also serve as a member of each of the Board's Committees, although not necessarily as its Chairman.

Table of Contents

              Our leadership structure separates our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board positions and makes the latter our Lead Independent Director. We believe this approach, which corporate governance experts generally view as the best practice, is useful and appropriate for a complex and global organization such as ours.

Director Orientation and Continuing Education

              We provide Directors who join our Board with an initial orientation about the Company, including our business operations, strategy, policies and governance. We then provide all of our Directors with resources and on-going education opportunities to assist them in staying current about developments in corporate governance and critical issues relating to the operation of public company boards and their committees. Our Board also visits Company offices in different cities as part of its regularly scheduled Board meetings, and typically this includes sessions with management, staff and clients.

Annual Board Self-Assessments and Senior Management Assessments

              Our Board annually conducts a self-evaluation (with anonymous responses permitted) to determine whether it and its Committees are functioning effectively and how they might enhance their effectiveness. Additionally, our Board solicits input (also on an anonymous basis) from the members of senior management who regularly interact with the Board in order to determine management's view about how effectively the Board interacts with the Company and oversees its strategies and execution. The Board members review and discuss the responses to both of these surveys.

The Board and Board Committees

Table of Contents

              Under the terms of its Charter, the Nominating and Governance Committee acts on behalf of the Board to (1) identify and recommend to the Board qualified candidates for director nominees for each Annual Meeting of Shareholders and to fill vacancies on the Board occurring between such Annual Meetings, (2) recommend to the Board nominees for Directors to serve on each Committee of the Board, (3) develop and recommend to the Board the Corporate Governance Guidelines and (4) lead the Board in its annual review of the Board's performance. In fulfilling its duties, the Nominating and Governance Committee has the full authority of the Board to, among other things:

•

Adopt and periodically review the criteria for the selection of Directors and members of Board Committees and, when necessary, conduct searches for and otherwise assist in attracting highly qualified candidates to serve on the Board, including candidates recommended by shareholders;

•

Review the qualifications of new candidates for Board membership and the performance of incumbent Directors;

•

Periodically review the compensation paid to Non-Executive Directors for their services as members of the Board and its Committees and make recommendations to the Board for any appropriate adjustments;

•

Periodically review and bring to the attention of the Board current and emerging trends in corporate governance issues and how they may affect the business operations of the Company;

•

Periodically review the structure, size, composition and operation of the Board and each Committee of the Board and recommend Committee assignments to the Board, including rotation, re-assignment or removal of any Committee member; and

•

Oversee and periodically review the orientation program for new Directors and continuing education programs for existing Directors.

The Board's Role in Enterprise Risk Oversight

              The Board and its Committees take active roles in overseeing management's identification and mitigation of the Company's enterprise risks. The Audit Committee focuses on the process by which management continuously identifies its enterprise risks and monitors the mitigation efforts that have been established. The Board focuses on substantive aspects of management's evaluation of the Company's enterprise risks and the efforts it is taking to avoid and mitigate them. Each of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee also monitors and discusses with management those risks that are inherent in the matters that are within each such Committee's purview.

              As a standing agenda item for its quarterly meetings, the Audit Committee discusses with management the process that has been followed in order to establish an enterprise risk management report. This report reflects (1) the then current most significant enterprise risks that management believes the Company is facing, (2) the efforts management is taking to avoid or mitigate the identified risks and (3) how the Company's internal audit function proposes to align its activities with the identified risks. The management representatives who regularly attend the Audit Committee meetings and participate in the preparation of the report and the discussion include our (1) Chief

24

Table of Contents

Operating and Financial Officer, who chairs our Global Operating Committee, which is the internal management committee that is responsible for overseeing our enterprise risk management process, (2) General Counsel and (3) Director of Internal Audit. At the meetings, the Director of Internal Audit reviews with the Committee how the report has informed the decisions about what aspects of the Company that Internal Audit will review as part of its regular audit procedures, as well as how various programmatic activities by Internal Audit have been influenced by the conclusions drawn in the report.

              The enterprise risk management report is provided to the full Board as a regular part of the materials for its quarterly meetings. At those meetings, the Board asks questions of management about the conclusions drawn in the enterprise risk management report and makes substantive comments and suggestions. Additionally, during the course of each year, the Audit Committee (or sometimes the full Board) meets directly on one or multiple occasions with the senior-most leaders of our critical corporate functions, including Finance, Accounting, Information Technology, Human Resources, Tax, Legal and Compliance, and Insurance, to consider, among other topics, the enterprise risks those internal organizations face and how they are managing and addressing them. At each Board meeting, the Chairman of our Audit Committee reports to the full Board on the activities of the Audit Committee, including with respect to its oversight of the enterprise risk management process.

              As a regular part of its establishment of executive compensation, the Compensation Committee considers how the structuring of our compensation programs will affect risk-taking and the extent to which they will drive alignment with the long-term success of the enterprise and the interests of our shareholders. The Compensation Committee comments on this aspect of our compensation program in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" that is a part of this Proxy Statement.

              In the normal course of its activities, our Nominating and Governance Committee reviews emerging best practices in corporate governance and stays abreast of changes in laws and regulations that affect the way we conduct our corporate governance, which represents another important aspect of overall enterprise risk management.

              Moreover, as part of its consideration of our Annual Report to Shareholders, our Board reviews and comments on our Risk Factors section, which is another way in which it participates in the consideration of the significant enterprise risks the Company faces and how the Company attempts to manage them in an appropriate way.

Nominations Process for Directors

Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Directors

              The Nominating and Governance Committee employs a variety of methods to identify and evaluate nominees for Director. The Committee regularly assesses the appropriate size of the Board and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated or otherwise arise, the Committee would consider various potential candidates for Director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Committee through then current Board members, Company executives, shareholders, professional search firms or other persons. The Committee would evaluate candidates at regular or special meetings and may consider candidates at any point during the year depending upon the circumstances. As described below, the Committee would consider properly submitted shareholder nominations of candidates for election to the Board at

25

---

Table of Contents

an Annual Meeting. Following verification of the shareholder status of the persons proposing candidates, the Committee would aggregate and consider recommendations at a regularly scheduled meeting, which would generally be the first or second meeting prior to the issuance of a proxy statement for the subsequent Annual Meeting. If a shareholder provides any materials in connection with the nomination of a Director candidate, the materials would be forwarded to the Committee. The Committee would also review materials that professional search firms or other parties provide in connection with a nominee who is not proposed by a shareholder. If the Committee nominated a candidate proposed by a professional search firm, the Committee would expect to compensate such firm for its services, but the Board would not pay any compensation for suggestions of candidates from any other source.

Director Qualifications; Diversity Considerations

              Our Board has adopted a Statement of Qualifications of Members of the Board of Directors, which is available on our website and contains the membership criteria that apply to nominees to be recommended by the Nominating and Governance Committee. According to these criteria, the Board should be composed of individuals who have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service. In addition, the members of the Board should possess the acumen, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the Board and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to the deliberations of the Board. Importantly, the members of the Board must have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and a dedication to serving the interests of all the shareholders and they must be able to make themselves readily available to the Board in the fulfillment of their duties. All members of the Board must also satisfy all additional criteria for Board membership that may be set forth in the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines. These criteria set forth the particular attributes that the Committee considers when evaluating a candidate's management and leadership experience, the skills and diversity that a candidate would contribute to the Board and the candidate's integrity and professionalism.

              For a number of years, our Nominating and Governance Committee has maintained an internal list of the more specific experiences and attributes that it seeks to have cumulatively reflected on the Board. While we do not expect each Director to necessarily contribute all of the desired criteria, we do seek to have the criteria represented on the Board as deeply as possible in their totality. Accordingly, when we are searching for a new Director, we seek to fill any relative gaps in the overall criteria that we may have identified at the time. The desired Board composition criteria that the Committee has identified include, among others:

•

International business experience;

•

Professional services experience, including with respect to culture, talent development and compensation matters;

•

Operating experience with a business for which commercial real estate is a significant part of the business model;

•

Operating experience with asset management;

•

Financial or accounting expertise;

•

Gender, ethnic and/or racial diversity;

26

Table of Contents

•

A current operating role or other current directorships that will promote continuing business acumen; and

•

Experience reviewing, approving and/or managing corporate transactions, including mergers and acquisitions and financings.

              In terms of the Committee's goal to have a diverse Board, the Committee believes that diversity of background and perspective, combined with relevant professional experience, benefits the Company and its shareholders. The Committee believes that the overall composition of the current Board reflects the desired criteria we describe above as well as a significant level of diversity from a number of different and important perspectives.

Shareholder Nominees

              The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider properly submitted nominations of candidates for membership on the Board as described above. Any shareholder nominations proposed for consideration by the Committee should include the nominee's name and qualifications for Board membership and evidence of the consent of the proposed nominee to serve as a Director if elected. Nominations should be addressed to our Corporate Secretary at the address of our principal executive office set forth above. Consistent with the deadline for submission of shareholder proposals intended to be included in our Proxy Statement generally, shareholder nominations for individuals to be considered for election at the 2012 Annual Meeting must be received by the Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office by no later than December 14, 2011.

Majority Voting for Directors

              In March 2009, our Board amended our By-Laws to provide that, except with respect to vacancies, each Director shall be elected by a vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to the Director at any meeting for the election of Directors at which a quorum is present. If, however, at least fourteen days before the date we file our definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC, the number of nominees exceeds the number of Directors to be elected (a Contested Election), the Directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of Directors. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted "for" a Director must exceed the number of votes cast "against" that Director (with abstentions and broker non-votes not counted as a vote cast either "for" or "against" that Director's election).

              In the event an incumbent Director fails to receive a majority of the votes cast in an election that is not a Contested Election, such incumbent Director must promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (or another Committee designated by the Board under the By-Laws) must make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation of such incumbent Director, or whether other action should be taken. The Board must act on the resignation, taking into account the Committee's recommendation, and publicly disclose (by a press release and filing an appropriate disclosure with the SEC) its decision regarding the resignation and, if such resignation is rejected, the rationale behind the decision, within 90 days following certification of the election results. The Committee in making its recommendations, and the Board in making its decision, may each consider any factors or other information that it considers appropriate and relevant. The Director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the recommendation of the Committee or the decision of the Board

27

with respect to his or her resignation. If such incumbent Director's resignation is not accepted by the Board, the Director will continue to serve until the next Annual Meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected, or his or her earlier resignation or removal.

              If an incumbent Director's resignation is accepted by the Board, or if a non-incumbent nominee for Director is not elected, then the Board, in its sole discretion, may fill any resulting vacancy or may decrease the size of the Board.

Non-Executive Director Compensation

              Under its Charter, our Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for determining and recommending to the Board the overall compensation program for our Non-Executive Directors.

              We use a combination of cash and stock-based compensation for the members of our Board. The Committee seeks to provide compensation to our Non-Executive Directors that is:

•

Sufficient to attract and retain the highest caliber individuals who meet the established criteria for Board membership;

•

Reflective of the demands placed on Board and Committee membership by a complex and geographically dispersed, global organization operating in highly competitive and dynamic markets; and

•

Commensurate with the compensation paid to directors at other firms under broadly similar circumstances.

              Annually, the Committee gathers data from studies that are published by independent non-profit organizations (for example, the National Association of Corporate Directors) and compensation consulting firms (for example, Towers Watson and Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc.). For comparison purposes, the Committee then uses the studies and data that appear to be most relevant and most closely associated with the Company's own circumstances. The Committee seeks information regarding:

•

Board retainers;

•

Cash versus equity compensation;

•

Compensation for serving on committees and for chairing committees; and

•

Equity ownership guidelines and compensation for non-executive chairmen.

              Based upon an internal guideline, the Committee then seeks to make any adjustment to the overall compensation program deemed necessary to satisfy the above criteria approximately every other year. In order to determine the compensation of our Chairman of the Board, our Committee meets in executive session, led by the Chairman of our Compensation Committee, without our Chairman of the Board being present.

Compensation for Our Non-Executive Directors

             Compensation Program.    Effective as of January 1, 2008, under the program that the Nominating and Governance Committee has established, each Non-Executive Director receives:

•

An annual retainer of $60,000, paid quarterly;

•

$3,000 for attendance at each meeting ($1,000 for telephonic meetings) of the Board;

•

$1,500 per meeting ($1,000 for telephonic meetings) for each Committee meeting (and the meeting of any special committee); and

•

An annual grant of restricted stock units in an amount equal to $90,000 (with the number of restricted stock units based on the closing price of our Common Stock on the grant date, which is the day after the Annual Meeting), to become vested on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued service on the Board.

              In addition, the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an annual retainer of $20,000, the Chairman of the Compensation Committee receives an annual retainer of $20,000 and the Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee receives an annual retainer of $5,000. Each member of the Audit Committee other than the Chairman receives an annual retainer of $5,000. We discuss separately below the compensation we pay to the Chairman of the Board.

              All of the above amounts have been in effect since January 1, 2006, except that effective January 1, 2008, the annual restricted stock grant was increased to $90,000 (from $75,000 previously), and the retainer for serving as the Chairman of the Compensation Committee was increased to $20,000 (from $10,000 previously).

              In support of the overall efforts of the Company to reduce its costs during the global financial crisis, the Non-Executive Directors voluntarily elected to decline 20% of their cash and equity retainers for the one-year period ending April 30, 2010. This included the retainers paid to the members of the Board in their capacities as such, to the Chairman of the Board, and to the Chairman of each of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees.

              The Nominating and Governance Committee has determined that there will be no increases to the compensation of our Non-Executive Directors during 2011.

              Upon being elected to the Board for the first time, Non-Executive Directors have previously also received a one-time grant of restricted stock units in an amount equal to $75,000 (with the number of shares based on the closing price of our Common Stock on the grant date, which is the date of the election), to become vested on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued service on the Board. Effective January 1, 2011, the form of the initial grant was changed such that it would thereafter be made half in stock that has immediately vested and half in restricted stock units to become vested on the fifth anniversary.

              Restricted stock unit awards continue to vest according to their original schedules in the event of the death or disability of a Non-Executive Director. They become fully vested if the Non-Executive Director retires, is not re-nominated or is not re-elected by the shareholders. If a Non-Executive Director resigns or is terminated for cause, he or she forfeits all remaining unvested awards.

              Jones Lang LaSalle reimburses all Directors for reasonable travel, lodging and related expenses incurred in attending meetings.

              Directors who are also officers or employees of Jones Lang LaSalle (currently Colin Dyer, Lauralee E. Martin and Roger T. Staubach) are not paid any Directors' fees.

             Equity Grants Prior to 2006.    Prior to and through 2003, (1) each Non-Executive Director elected to the Board for the first time received upon such election a one-time non-qualified stock option grant to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock at fair market value on the date of grant and (2) each Non-Executive Director also received, on the day after each Annual Meeting of Shareholders at which the Non-Executive Director continued in office, an annual non-qualified stock option grant to purchase 5,000 shares. All of the foregoing options have a 10-year term and vest over a 5-year period, with 20% becoming vested on each anniversary of the date of grant. The foregoing grants of options were made automatically under our Stock Award and Incentive Plan.

              In 2004 and 2005, the compensation program provided that (1) upon election to the Board for the first time, each Non-Executive Director would receive a one-time grant of restricted stock units in an amount equal to $50,000 and (2) each Non-Executive Director would also receive, on the day after each Annual Meeting of Shareholders at which the Non-Executive Director continued in office, an annual grant of restricted stock units in an amount equal to $50,000. In each case, the number of restricted stock units was based on the closing price of our Common Stock on the grant date. All such restricted stock units become vested on the fifth anniversary of the grant date.

             Election to Receive Equity in Lieu of Cash.    Prior to and through 2002, a Non-Executive Director could elect to receive, in lieu of the annual cash retainer, an option for a number of shares such that the value of the option was equal to the amount of the annual retainer. The Stock Award and Incentive Plan established the value of these options as being equal to 33% of the exercise price for options issued with respect to 1999 through 2002. For such options, the exercise price was equal to the average closing prices of our Common Stock on the last trading day of each calendar quarter during the year. Such stock options were granted on January 1 of the year following the year in which the retainer was earned, were fully vested upon grant and have 10-year terms.

              Beginning in 2003 and through 2007, we permitted Non-Executive Directors to elect to receive shares of our Common Stock in lieu of any or all of their annual cash retainer, on a quarterly basis, based on the closing price of our Common Stock on the last trading day of each quarter. In addition, we permitted the Non-Executive Directors to elect to defer receipt of such shares for specified periods and, consistent with our Stock Ownership Program described below, the Company increased the initial value of any shares so deferred by a so-called "uplift" of 25% (reduced to 20% for 2007).

              Effective January 2008, we began to permit Non-Executive Directors to elect to receive and defer shares of our Common Stock in lieu of any or all of their cash meeting fees, on a quarterly basis, based on the closing price of our Common Stock on the last trading day of each immediately preceding quarter. However, we are no longer increasing the value of any shares so deferred (whether in lieu of cash retainers or meeting fees) by an uplift.

             Election to Participate in the U.S. Deferred Compensation Plan.    Effective for compensation paid on and after January 1, 2004, we established a Deferred Compensation Plan for our employees in the United States who are at our National Director level and above and also for Non-Executive Directors who are subject to United States income tax. The Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation program under which the eligible members of our Board may voluntarily elect to defer up to 100% of their cash retainers, meeting fees and restricted stock units that vest. Elections are made on an annual basis and in compliance with Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code. Each of Ms. Penrose, Mr. Hartley-Leonard and Mr. Theobald has previously deferred certain portions of his or her Director's fees into the Plan.

              The amounts of any compensation deferred under the Plan remain an asset of the Company and constitute an unsecured obligation of the Company to pay the participants in the future and, as such, are subject to the claims of other creditors in the event of the Company's insolvency. Gains and losses on deferred amounts are credited based on the performance of a hypothetical investment in a variety of mutual fund investment choices selected by the participants. A participant's account may or may not appreciate depending upon the performance of the hypothetical investment selections the participants make. Participants must elect certain future distribution dates on which all or a portion of their accounts will be paid to them in cash, including in the case of a change in control of the Company. The Company does not make any contributions to the Plan beyond the amounts of compensation that participants themselves elect to defer.

Compensation for Our Chairman of the Board

              As a Non-Executive Director who was elected to the position of Chairman of the Board effective January 1, 2005, Ms. Penrose receives an annual retainer in addition to the foregoing amounts in consideration of undertaking the responsibilities and time commitments associated with that position as the Board has established it. The Chairman's annual retainer for 2005, which was the first year of the two-year term to which she was originally elected, was $100,000. Beginning on January 1, 2006, the Chairman's annual retainer was increased to $120,000 and effective January 1, 2011 it has been increased to $140,000.

              At the time of her initial election in 2005, Ms. Penrose received a one-time grant of 1,000 restricted stock units, having a fair market value on the grant date of $37,580, all of which vested January 1, 2007. When she was reappointed as Chairman in May 2008, Ms. Penrose was granted an additional 363 shares of restricted stock units, having a fair market value on the grant date of $25,000, all of which vested on May 29, 2009.

              Ms. Penrose is permitted to apply her Chairman's retainer to the programs described above with respect to electing to receive shares in lieu of cash or to deferring amounts under the U.S. Deferred Compensation Plan.

Non-Executive Director Stock Ownership

              Non-Executive Directors are subject to a stock ownership guideline whereby we expect that, at a minimum, by the third anniversary of his or her first election to the Board, each director shall have acquired, and for as long as he or she remains a member of the Board will maintain ownership of, at least the lesser of (1) 5,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock or (2) shares of the Company's Common Stock worth $300,000 based on the then most recent closing price thereof. All shares of unvested restricted stock that have been granted to a Director, or which a Director has elected to take in lieu of cash compensation or has deferred under any deferred compensation plan, count toward each of the indicated minimum number of shares and dollar value. The net value of "in-the-money" options count toward the indicated minimum dollar value.

              As of March 18, 2011, when the price per share of our Common Stock at the close of trading on the NYSE was $98.35, our Non-Executive Directors had the following ownership interests in shares of our Common Stock:

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

              In this section we provide our shareholders with the material information necessary to understand our compensation policies. We also discuss the compensation we awarded to the six executives who comprised our Global Executive Committee (GEC) for all of 2010. Referred to in this Proxy Statement as our Named Executive Officers, they were our most highly compensated executive officers during 2010:

•

Colin Dyer, our Chief Executive Officer and President;

•

Lauralee E. Martin, our Chief Operating and Financial Officer; and

•

The Chief Executive Officers for our four principal business segments:

•

Alastair Hughes, Asia Pacific;

•

Jeff A. Jacobson, LaSalle Investment Management (LIM);

•

Peter C. Roberts, Americas; and

•

Christian Ulbrich, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

              This section consists of:

•

Our Compensation Discussion and Analysis, which explains how and why we paid our Named Executive Officers for their efforts in 2010; and

•

Compensation tables, which present the specific amounts and types of compensation we paid to our Named Executive Officers in respect of 2010 and in comparison to 2009 and 2008.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Summary

             Perspective on the Operation of our Compensation Program During 2010: A Year of Accelerating Recovery and Emerging Strongly After the Global Financial Crisis.    The global economy moved toward a more sustainable recovery during 2010, although at different speeds in different markets. The actions the Company took throughout the global recession to protect the interests of clients and the firm also helped to take advantage of improving conditions in the recovering real estate markets. As a result, the Company had a very successful 2010 and is well-positioned for future growth, margin improvement and market share gains.

              Our firm recorded the highest level of revenue in its history during 2010 and used its strong cash flow to significantly reduce its total net debt and strengthen its investment-grade balance sheet. Accordingly, given the direct linkage between pay and performance that our compensation program has established, we paid appropriately higher levels of compensation to our Named Executive Officers for 2010 than we did for the two previous years. While we paid lower levels of compensation during the downturn, the structure of our program successfully served to retain our management team and provide them with the appropriate incentives to keep the firm healthy through a difficult global period. Under their leadership, Jones Lang LaSalle has emerged as one of the two largest providers in the industry with the culture and financial strength that are increasingly making it a firm of choice for (1) clients seeking real estate advisory and investment management services from a global and well-coordinated provider with a strong balance sheet, (2) professionals seeking employment from an organization with integrity and where they will have high potential for career development and (3) smaller companies that seek to be acquired within an industry that continues to consolidate.

Table of Contents

              Therefore, we believe that our compensation program has proven, through a difficult period, that it provides the right balance between the short-term and long-term performance goals that will best motivate our senior management to (1) lead the Company and (2) focus its people on the disciplines necessary to remain a strong competitor that can continue to gain market share and improve operationally in both prosperous and challenging times. We also believe it continues to provide important retention incentives and to promote the strategic objectives that management and the Board view as the most significant.

             Pursuit of Best Practices in Executive Compensation.    Our Compensation Committee (which is sometimes referred to as the Committee, we or us for purposes of this Compensation Discussion and Analysis) oversees the Company's executive compensation programs. Among its responsibilities, the Committee reviews and annually approves the compensation we pay to all of our Named Executive Officers.

              The Committee designs our executive compensation program to motivate the Named Executive Officers to lead the Company toward achieving its short-term and long-term financial and strategic goals, in addition to increasing shareholder value, all without encouraging excessive risk-taking. We continually evaluate those attributes we consider to be best practices in executive compensation and we seek to infuse them into our program. Those attributes, which our compensation program reflects, include the following:

•

A pay for performance philosophy, with significant upward and downward flexibility built to correspond to the financial results of an inherently cyclical business;

•

A balanced mix of short- and long-term focused compensation;

•

Significant use of equity to align with shareholder interests;

•

Stock ownership guidelines, with financial consequences for non-compliance;

•

Recapture of certain incentives in the event of a subsequent restatement of financial statements; and

•

Consideration of long-term wealth accumulation.

              The following table indicates certain of the specific compensation practices in effect for all of 2010 that we believe promoted the attributes we seek for our program.

             Changes Made to Compensation Practices During 2010.    In addition to the above practices, we made certain changes to our compensation program during 2010 in order to incorporate evolving best practices:

•

Modified the stock ownership guidelines to require beneficial ownership by our Chief Executive Officer equal to the lesser of six times base salary or 60,000 shares. (The other Named Executive Officers have a requirement of the lesser of four times base salary or 40,000 shares.)

•

Established post-vesting holding periods for Named Executive Officers. Added share retention provisions to restricted stock unit awards that require 50% of the net shares to be restricted from sale or transfer for an additional 12 months after vesting.

•

As an additional retention strategy, paid an amount of annual incentive in deferred form (restricted stock units) over the minimum plan requirement of 15%.

             Summary of 2010 Compensation Decisions.    The Committee made the following key compensation decisions in respect of the Company's 2010 performance:

Oversight of Executive Compensation Program

             Role of the Compensation Committee.    The Committee, which consists entirely of independent Directors, recognizes the importance of developing and maintaining sound principles and practices to govern the Company's executive compensation program. We seek to ensure that the Company maintains a strong link between executive pay and each of (1) corporate performance and (2) performance of stock price. To carry out its responsibilities, the Committee:

•

Retains, and regularly consults, an independent compensation consultant to advise on executive compensation design, structure and market competitiveness;

•

Reviews peer group company and market compensation data in order to (1) compare our executive compensation to what other similarly situated companies pay and (2) determine how they use compensation to attract, motivate, and retain executive talent;

•

Reviews detailed compensation tally sheets for the Named Executive Officers to determine the amounts that each of them would receive or forfeit under different termination scenarios. The tally sheets include:

•

current cash compensation;

•

deferred compensation;

•

outstanding equity awards;

•

benefits; and

•

potential severance payments;

•

Takes into consideration relevant internal matters, including fairness, consistency, tax deductibility and accounting requirements;

•

Promotes the transparency of compensation policy and corresponding results; and

•

Through a disciplined evaluation process, establishes a strong link between (1) executive compensation and (2) achievement of net income, operating income, operating income margin and other strategic objectives designed to drive shareholder value.

             Internal Compensation Resources.    The Company's Global Human Resources staff helps prepare the information the Committee needs to carry out its oversight responsibilities. The Company uses internal compensation expertise and data available from professional compensation consulting firms to compile comparative market compensation data and present individual compensation modeling.

             Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant.    The Committee has continued to retain Sibson Consulting as an independent outside compensation consultant to the Committee. We determine the scope of Sibson's services. Sibson advises us on matters related to the compensation of the Named Executive Officers. Sibson does not advise management of the Company and receives no compensation from the Company other than in connection with its consulting work for the Committee. We typically request Sibson to:

•

Review and comment on the agenda and supporting materials in advance of our meetings;

•

Review and comment on major compensation matters that management proposes, including with respect to plan design recommendations;

•

Review the compensation matters disclosed in the Company's proxy statements;

•

Advise us on best practices for Board governance over executive compensation, current executive compensation trends and regulatory updates;

•

Review and comment on management's comparative data on executive compensation; and

•

Undertake special projects or provide such other advice as we may request.

             Role of the Chief Executive Officer.    Our Chief Executive Officer, Colin Dyer, makes annual recommendations to the Committee for the compensation of the Named Executive Officers other than himself. To do this, Mr. Dyer reviews base salaries, annual incentives, long-term incentives, equity awards and total direct compensation. He evaluates in his judgment the performance of each of the Named Executive Officers (other than himself) based on the performance goals and compensation plans established at the beginning of the year, as well as the desired mix of cash and equity. He also comments on the quality of the interaction and contributions of the other Named Executive Officers on the GEC, since that is the senior-most executive committee within the firm, and compares the performance for each Named Executive Officer on a relative basis, taking into account the different market, geographical and cultural dynamics and challenges of each of their different segments. Then, with the assistance of our Chief Human Resources Officer, Mr. Dyer presents his evaluation and the resulting compensation recommendations to the Committee. The Committee reviews these evaluations and recommendations, discusses them with Mr. Dyer and our Chief Human Resources Officer and ultimately approves, or amends, Mr. Dyer's recommendations in its discretion.

              The Committee receives a self-assessment of the Chief Executive Officer's own performance during the previous year relative to his performance objectives. The Chief Executive Officer also assesses the extent to which circumstances arose during the year, including, for example changes in the marketplace or the competitive landscape, which required him to alter his focus or activities during the year. The Committee next meets in one or more private executive sessions without Mr. Dyer being present in order to develop its own conclusions about Mr. Dyer's performance. In its discretion, the Committee then determines the Chief Executive Officer's annual incentive for the then previous year, his base salary and annual incentive target for the next year and any equity awards.

             When We Make Compensation Decisions.    Through a disciplined and ongoing governance process, the Committee conducts its activities on a regular timeline each year. We show below several

of the key milestone events that occur during each quarter as a guide to understanding the Committee's annual calendar.

Executive Compensation Principles and Framework

             Objectives of Our Compensation Program.    We have designed our executive compensation program primarily to (1) attract, motivate and retain highly talented executives, (2) deliver rewards for superior performance, (3) promote ownership and a long-term performance orientation by aligning the interests of our executives, including our Named Executive Officers, with those of our shareholders, and (4) be internally fair, externally competitive and transparent to our shareholders. Accordingly, the most significant portion of the total compensation opportunity for our Named Executive Officers is directly related to a combination of:

•

Annual net income;

•

Operating income;

•

Operating income margin;

•

Total shareholder return; and

•

Other strategic objectives that we, in collaboration with the senior management team, believe will most directly grow shareholder value.

              We structure the amount of the compensation opportunity to (1) increase with the achievement of correspondingly higher performance goals and (2) decrease in the event the Company

40

does not meet its financial or other operating objectives. We also establish minimum levels of financial performance that must be achieved before we will pay incentive compensation.

             What We Design Our Compensation Program to Reward.    We intend our executive compensation program to reflect and support our Company's strong performance orientation, in both good times and bad. Consistent with this philosophy, we deliver a significant portion of the annual and long-term compensation of each of our Named Executive Officers based on an evaluation of performance objectives that we believe will most closely correlate to shareholder value. We design our performance objectives to motivate our Named Executive Officers to:

•

Grow profitable revenues, both organically and through strategic acquisitions;

•

Lead the business to seek "stretch" financial performance, including aggressive expense management when confronting contracting markets;

•

Position the Company competitively and grow market share in desired markets by:

•

strengthening, expanding and protecting existing client relationships;

•

securing new client relationships;

•

expanding service capabilities through hiring and appropriate acquisitions;

•

cross-selling among different service lines; and

•

innovating and developing new services;

•

Engage in strategic planning;

•

Develop and retain a talented, high-performance and engaged workforce;

•

Protect and strengthen the overall franchise;

•

Promote teamwork and collaboration;

•

Promote cultural, ethnic and gender diversity at all levels of the business;

•

Conduct business ethically and with integrity; and

•

Promote proper corporate governance, development and propagation of best practices and overall enterprise risk mitigation.

              We intentionally keep our cash incentive and equity delivery systems flexible since we seek to give certain of the above elements higher or lower emphasis on a person-by-person basis. We do this so that we can motivate specific results from each individual position that will help drive the overall goals the Company is emphasizing in a given year. This also allows us to take account of the different business dynamics that inevitably exist across our geographies and business lines. Moreover, the Company's overall strategic goals change from one year to the next. We therefore seek to use our compensation system to effectively and promptly provide the strongest possible incentives to achieve those goals.

              During the past few years, the Company's financial performance reflected both the significant challenges imposed by the global financial crisis as well as the ability to strengthen its franchise to take advantage of the markets as they recovered and regained their confidence. Our compensation program flexed appropriately relative to the firm's lower level of profitability during the crisis and the subsequent significant improvement in its financial results during 2010. The program also created the appropriate level of incentives for our Named Executive Officers to remain on task during the crisis and focused on how to preserve and leverage the firm's global platform in anticipation of recovery.

             The Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program.    Historically, we have compensated our Named Executive Officers, as well as our other managers and professionals, primarily through a combination of three separate but inter-related components:

•

A cash base salary;

•

A performance-based annual incentive that we commonly refer to within the Company as an "annual bonus;" and

•

Long-term incentives linked to growth hurdles, typically delivered through restricted stock unit grants that vest over multi-year periods or cash the payment of which has been deferred for stated periods of time.

              Beginning in 2007, we have implemented two important changes in the specific elements we use to compensate our Named Executive Officers:

•

We increased the proportion of total compensation that we deliver in the form of unvested restricted stock units. We did this for two reasons: first to provide a stronger alignment to longer-term growth in the stock price; and second to increase retention incentives.

•

We introduced a new long-term incentive program that we call the GEC Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program (GEC LTIP). The only Named Executive Officer who does not participate in this is Jeff Jacobson, since he participates in a separate long-term program specifically linked to the performance of LaSalle Investment Management. The GEC LTIP, which is now in its second performance cycle, is designed to drive financial performance over a multi-year period in terms of:

•

operating income;

•

operating margin;

•

total shareholder return; and

•

the achievement of strategic objectives.

              We deliver all of our performance incentives, whether in cash or restricted stock, under the provisions of our Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the Stock Incentive Plan), which our shareholders have previously approved and the Committee administers.

             Competitive Assessment: Comparing Our Executive Compensation Program to Other Companies.    We develop the total compensation opportunities for each Named Executive Officer relative to our own historical corporate performance and future objectives. We do not believe it is appropriate to establish compensation opportunities based primarily on benchmarking relative to compensation at other companies. Therefore, we do not rigidly set our compensation levels based on specified percentiles of benchmark data.

              However, we also recognize that our compensation practices must be competitive within the broader markets where we compete. As we strive to be the leading integrated global real estate services and investment management firm, it is critical that we attract, retain and motivate executives who are among the most talented in our industry and who will be best able to deliver on the commitments we make to our clients and shareholders.

              Each year the Committee compares our compensation program to those of other companies that:

•

We consider our direct competitors;

•

Operate within the broader commercial real estate business, including real estate investment trusts; or

•

Operate within the business services and financial services sectors.

              We call these our "Peer Groups." Management annually reviews the composition of the Peer Groups. It then recommends to the Committee changes that will keep the Peer Groups as meaningful as possible to our own Company in terms of:

•

The types of services we provide;

•

The clients we seek;

•

The need to reflect changes in the Peer Group companies themselves (for example, as the result of mergers or acquisitions); and

•

The scope and nature of the positions we are comparing.

              The Committee independently considers and approves the Peer Group lists to which we refer for comparison purposes.

              The companies in the Peer Groups for our 2010 study are shown below and consisted of (1) a group of real estate companies, including certain of our direct competitors that we added regardless of size, and (2) a group of business services providers:

              We have determined that the currently available comparative data is not sufficiently reliable with respect to those of our Named Executive Officers who lead our four business segments. This is because their positions do not correlate well enough to the positions that the Peer Group companies report in their proxy statements. Accordingly, we have decided that a reasonable approach for us is first to compare data for our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Operating and Financial Officer, which we do believe correlates well with the Peer Group companies. We then align the remaining Global Executive Committee positions from an internal consistency perspective, taking into account

43

Table of Contents

relative size, profit contribution and comparative performance of their respective business segments. When we refer elsewhere in this discussion to the Peer Group comparisons that we do, we are referring to this methodology.

              Overall, we concluded from the Peer Group comparisons we conducted that the current base salaries for our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Operating and Financial Officers are below the 50^th percentile of the market reference points. Our annual incentive and long term incentive opportunities permit the Committee to reward increasingly higher levels of performance, generally between the 50^th and the 75^th percentiles of the Peer Groups, although our programs could also result in compensation higher than the 75^th percentile if performance warrants.

              In order to motivate and reward our executives, we provide a mix of cash and potential long-term compensation that is broadly consistent with market practices. We believe that the components we use to reward and retain executive talent (base salaries, combined with annual incentives and long term incentives that include significant equity elements) work well to differentiate performance through the different market environments we experience across the world.

Relationship Between Compensation Design and Risk-Taking

              We periodically consider whether our compensation policies may be reasonably expected to create incentives for our people to take risks that are likely to have a material adverse effect on either our short- or longer-term financial results or operations. We continue to believe that they do not. We also have not identified historical situations where we believe that our compensation practices drove behaviors or actions that resulted in material adverse effects on our business or prospects.

              Broadly speaking, we take two different approaches to compensating our people within the three regions that provide Real Estate Services:

•

For predominantly revenue producing positions (such as brokers), we provide minimal base salaries and then commissions or shares in annual incentive pools that directly relate to financial production results according to individual transactions; and

•

For positions that are oriented more toward longer-term client relationship businesses (such as in our corporate outsourcing businesses) or that are either leader-coach positions (such as positions leading businesses, markets or teams) or internal staff positions (such as in marketing or human resources), we provide base salaries and then shares in annual incentive pools that are determined from different combinations of overall corporate or business unit financial results, achievement of key performance indicators on individual client accounts, client survey results and achievement of individual performance goals.

              In our LaSalle Investment Management business, we use base salaries and annual incentive pools that relate to overall global performance of the business as well as the achievement of individual objectives relating to specific performance of investments, fund raising and other metrics and activities that support the success of the business. The long-term incentive plan for the senior leadership of the business relates primarily to the strength of cash-flow annuity income rather than incentive fees. Since incentive fees relate to the performance over longer periods of time of investments made for clients, they provide by themselves significant inherent alignment with client interests.

              We believe these different approaches are appropriate to their circumstances and that they align well with both near-term and longer-term shareholder interests. Straight commissions are restricted to transactions that are completed and therefore do not have significant future risks of negative returns to the firm. Annual incentive pools and longer-term compensation are generally related to the satisfaction of clients over time, and will be adversely impacted in the event of negative client experiences or relationships.

              In the case of our Named Executive Officers, we have built in certain long-term features that would reduce compensation in the event that overly-risky strategies resulted in diminished financial performance. These features include (1) the use of restricted stock with vesting periods up to five years in length, (2) clawback provisions in the GEC LTIP in the event of financial restatements and (3) requirements in the GEC LTIP that operating income and margin performance be sustained over a multi-year period.

              Where we use them, our restricted stock programs have fairly significant vesting periods of up to five years, and therefore are designed to promote behaviors that are in the longer-term interests of our shareholders and stock price. We have also begun to require that certain restricted stock awards to the Named Executive Officers be retained for another twelve months even after they have fully vested.

Why We Pay Each Element of Compensation

Annual Base Salary

              We set the annual base salaries of our Named Executive Officers at relatively modest levels compared to their total potential compensation. We intend base salaries to compensate them for carrying out the basic responsibilities of their positions, but we do not expect base salaries by themselves to adequately reward significant stretch performance. We also do not believe that base salaries alone are sufficient to retain top talent relative to the total compensation aspirations they would reasonably have at competing firms.

              Historically, base salaries have represented less than 25% of the annual total compensation opportunity we establish at the beginning of each year for the Named Executive Officers, although they can become much more significant in years when our variable incentives contract in line with diminished financial performance, such as occurred in 2008 for example.

              Consistent with our philosophy of emphasizing performance-based compensation, we have not raised the base salaries of our Named Executive Officers since the beginning of 2006, more than five years ago. During 2009, based upon circumstances within individual business segments, certain of our Named Executive Officers voluntarily agreed to base salary reductions of up to 12% in order to contribute to the Company's efforts to actively manage its expenses in light of the deteriorating markets that resulted from the global recession. Given the recovering markets and the Company's firming financial performance during 2010, we re-instated their historical base salaries during 2010.

Annual Incentives

              We deliver the most variable annual element of cash compensation through our performance-based annual incentive arrangements. We design them so that they will vary materially, in both

45

Table of Contents

positive and negative directions, according to (1) actual overall company and individual business segment financial performance and (2) strategic performance objectives. We evaluate performance after the end of each year relative to the objectives we established at the beginning of such year.

              We establish annual incentives to motivate our Named Executive Officers to deliver results relating to the Company's five global strategic priorities, which we call the G5, that we intend to create shareholder value. We therefore seek to create performance expectations and their relationship to annual awards in a manner that will:

•

Encourage stretch annual performance;

•

Contribute to a competitive level of total compensation within an industry in which our principal competition for talent includes both publicly- traded companies and privately-held partnerships;

•

Provide appropriate overall internal alignment with compensation levels paid within our respective business and corporate staff units, also taking account of differing compensation levels from one labor market to the next and the level of responsibility and value creation associated with different positions; and

•

Remain effective through positive and negative business cycles and across the different market environments in which we operate across the globe.

              Assuming satisfactory corporate performance under the circumstances, we intend the actual annual incentives we pay to provide compensation which, together with base salaries and the value of restricted equity holdings, is sufficient to attract and retain high caliber executives.

             Portion of Annual Incentives Paid in Restricted Stock Units.    We take three separate steps as part of our annual incentive program that we intend both to retain our people and to promote a focus on increasing our stock price through long-term value creation and out-performance of our competition:

•

First, specifically for our Named Executive Officers we have instituted a mandatory equity component to modify the way we deliver annual incentives. We therefore require that a minimum of 15% of the annual incentive to each Named Executive Officer be delivered in the form of restricted stock units that we issue under our Stock Incentive Plan. We determine the number of mandatory restricted stock units we issue under this aspect of the program based on the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the NYSE as of the first trading day of the year, so the number of restricted stock units which are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below were based on the closing price of our Common Stock on January 3, 2011.

Half of these restricted stock units vest eighteen months from the first trading day in the year of the incentive payment. The remaining half vest thirty months from the first trading day in the year of the payment. So, for example, half of the restricted stock units awarded in 2011 will vest July 3, 2012 and the other half will vest July 3, 2013. After they vest, we require that half of these shares then be held for an additional twelve months before they may be sold.

•

Second, also specifically with respect to our Named Executive Officers, we retain the discretion to make additional grants of restricted stock units in lieu of cash as part of their annual incentives in order to provide an additional retention incentive and further alignment with shareholder interests. We would determine the number of discretionary restricted stock units

46

Table of Contents

we issue under this second aspect of the program based on the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the day the Committee finally approves the annual incentives. So the numbers of restricted stock units issued for the annual incentives we paid in 2011, which are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below, were based on the closing price of our Common Stock on February 25, 2011.

Half of these restricted stock units vest three years from the grant date and the other half in five years. We also require that half of these shares be held for another twelve months after vesting.

•

Third, under our Stock Ownership Program (or SOP), which we administer as part of our overall Stock Incentive Plan, we currently require all of our International Directors, which is the group of our most senior employees and includes all of our Named Executive Officers, to receive 20% of their annual incentives in restricted stock units. Each employee may opt out of this requirement for a given year only if he or she has acquired certain minimum levels of stock ownership. In the case of our Chief Executive Officer, the minimum amount of equity ownership necessary to opt out is the lesser of (i) six times annual base salary or (ii) 60,000 shares. In the case of the remaining Named Executive Officers, the minimum amount of equity ownership necessary to opt out is the lesser of (ii) four times annual base salary or (ii) 40,000 shares. The SOP permits each participant, including each Named Executive Officer, to voluntarily reduce by five percentage points the amount of annual incentive he or she would otherwise receive in restricted stock units. Finally, the SOP limits to $150,000 the amount of annual incentive to be delivered in restricted stock units. Our Named Executive Officers, all of whom meet the ownership guidelines, elected to opt out of the SOP for 2010.

GEC Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program

              In 2007, we instituted the GEC LTIP. We did this because we wanted to drive long-term performance reflecting the execution of the Company's strategy over a multi-year period. The GEC LTIP is now in its second performance cycle, for the five-year period starting on January 1, 2010 and ending on December 31, 2014.

              All of the members of the GEC are eligible to participate in the GEC LTIP except for the chief executive officer of LaSalle Investment Management because he participates in a separate long-term incentive plan for that business segment. (We provide a separate discussion below regarding the LIM Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program.)

              The GEC LTIP establishes a total annual pool to be paid out based on the achievement of four different performance measures. Actual funding of the pool may be higher or lower than the target amount depending on actual performance. Whether cash or stock is paid for achievement of a particular performance measure depends on the measure. Although the categories for the performance measures will stay the same over the five-year life of the GEC LTIP, we establish annually a specific goal for each measure, which we do to drive continuous year-over-year improvement.

              We filed the GEC LTIP program document as an exhibit to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
