PROXY STATEMENT


Annual Meeting of Stockholders
To Be Held May 14, 2002


INTRODUCTION

        This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated, a Maryland corporation ("Jones Lang LaSalle"), for use at the annual meeting of Jones Lang LaSalle's stockholders to be held on Tuesday, May 14, 2002, beginning at 1:30 p.m., local time, in the Indiana Room on Lower Level 1 of the Aon Center, 200 East Randolph Drive, Chicago, Illinois, and any adjournments or postponements thereof (the "Annual Meeting"), for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

        Jones Lang LaSalle expects to first send this Proxy Statement and the enclosed form of proxy to stockholders on or about April 4, 2002.


ANNUAL REVIEW

        The 2001 Annual Review of Jones Lang LaSalle and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, including financial statements audited by KPMG LLP, independent auditors, and their report thereon dated January 31, 2002, with reference to one footnote dated March 28, 2002 are being mailed together with this Proxy Statement to each of Jones Lang LaSalle's stockholders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2002 (the "Record Date").


VOTING AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

        Only stockholders of record of Jones Lang LaSalle's common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), at the close of business on 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 stockholders and is entitled to vote for as many persons as there are Directors to be elected. There were 30,219,854 shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date held by approximately 3,800 beneficial owners.

        Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast 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 ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as Jones Lang LaSalle's independent auditors for 2002. Approval of the stockholder proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast.

1



        The presence, in person or by properly executed proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Shares of Common Stock represented in person or by properly executed proxy will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. Shares which abstain from voting as to a particular matter and broker non-votes on the stockholder proposal will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, but will not be counted as votes cast on such matter. Accordingly, in determining whether director nominees and the ratification of KPMG LLP have received the requisite number of affirmative votes, abstentions will have no effect on the voting and in determining whether the stockholder proposal has received the requisite number of votes, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the voting.

        Each valid proxy returned to Jones Lang LaSalle will be voted at the Annual Meeting as indicated on the proxy or, if no indication is made with respect to a proposal, in accordance with the recommendations of the Board set forth in this Proxy Statement. Jones Lang LaSalle does not know of any matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting other than the proposals referred to on the proxies and described in this Proxy Statement. However, if any other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the persons named on the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote the shares represented by them in accordance with their best judgment pursuant to the discretionary authority granted them in the proxies.

        Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before it is voted. Proxies may be revoked by (i) filing with the Secretary of Jones Lang LaSalle, before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting, a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the proxy, or (ii) duly executing a later-dated proxy relating to the same shares and delivering it to the Secretary of Jones Lang LaSalle. Notice of revocation or subsequent proxy should be sent to Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated, 200 East Randolph Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60601, Attention: Fritz E. Freidinger, Secretary, or hand-delivered to the Secretary of Jones Lang LaSalle at or before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting. Facsimiles will not be accepted.


STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENTS

        In connection with the acquisition of the property and asset management, advisory and other real estate businesses operated by a series of partnerships and corporations in Europe, Asia, Australia, North America and New Zealand under the name "Jones Lang Wootton" or "JLW" (the "JLW Companies"), each former beneficial owner of the JLW Companies (the "JLW Shareholders") entered into a separate stockholder agreement ("Stockholder Agreement") with Jones Lang LaSalle. In addition, in the cases where a JLW Shareholder is not a natural person, the employee of the JLW Companies who owns or holds an interest in such JLW Shareholder (a "Related JLW Owner") entered into a Stockholder Agreement along with such JLW Shareholder. Unless otherwise agreed, the term of such Stockholder Agreements commenced upon the closing of the acquisition of the JLW Companies (the "Closing") and will terminate on the earlier of (i) the first business day immediately following the fifth annual meeting of stockholders following March 11, 1999, or (ii) June 1, 2003 (the "Transition Period").

        Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreements, each JLW Shareholder and Related JLW Owner has, among other things, agreed (i) to standstill covenants and covenants restricting activities affecting the management and corporate control of Jones Lang LaSalle and (ii) to vote all shares of Common Stock owned by such JLW Shareholder and Related JLW Owner in favor of persons nominated by the Board and in accordance with the recommendation of the Board on stockholder proposals and matters involving a sale or merger of Jones Lang LaSalle which the Board has recommended against approving.

        Each former LaSalle Partners employee stockholder who is a former partner of DEL-LPL Limited Partnership and DEL-LPAML Limited Partnership, two affiliated employee partnerships which held approximately 7 million of Jones Lang LaSalle's shares, has entered into a stockholder agreement (a "DEL

2



Stockholder Agreement") that contains all the stockholder covenants and voting provisions contained in the Stockholder Agreements.

        As a result of the Stockholder Agreements and DEL Stockholder Agreements, as long as persons who are parties or otherwise subject to such agreements own or control a significant number of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote, the Board's recommendation regarding director nominees to the Board, sale or merger transactions and all stockholder proposals will be assured a significant level of support. Approximately 30% of the outstanding Common Stock is currently owned by persons who are bound by the Stockholder Agreements and the DEL Stockholder Agreements.


PROPOSAL 1


ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

        Six Directors, five of the Class II Directors and one of the Class I Directors, are to be elected at the Annual Meeting. Class II Directors will serve three-year terms until Jones Lang LaSalle's annual meeting of stockholders in 2005, and the Class I Director will serve a two-year term until Jones Lang LaSalle's annual meeting of stockholders in 2004, and in each case until their successors are elected and qualify, or until their earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

        Pursuant to the purchase agreements relating to the acquisition of the JLW Companies (the "Purchase Agreements"), during the Transition Period, the Board will be composed of 14 directors. In connection with the Closing, seven of such directors (the "LaSalle Partners Directors") were designated by Jones Lang LaSalle and seven of such directors (the "JLW Directors") were designated by the JLW Companies. Four of the LaSalle Partners Directors (the "LaSalle Partners Employee Directors") were executive officers of Jones Lang LaSalle prior to the Closing and four of the JLW Directors (the "JLW Employee Directors") were executive officers of the JLW Companies prior to the Closing. The three remaining LaSalle Partners Directors (the "LaSalle Partners Independent Directors") and JLW Directors (the "JLW Independent Directors"), respectively, are required to be independent during the Transition Period.

        During the Transition Period, the LaSalle Partners Employee Directors in office from time to time, together with two or more LaSalle Partners Independent Directors selected by such LaSalle Partners Employee Directors, will constitute a nominating committee (the "LaSalle Partners Nominating Committee") with the powers and duties delegated to such committee in the bylaws of Jones Lang LaSalle, as amended (the "Amended Bylaws"), and the JLW Employee Directors in office from time to time, together with two or more JLW Independent Directors selected by such JLW Employee Directors, will constitute a nominating committee (the "JLW Nominating Committee") with the powers and duties delegated to such committee in the Amended Bylaws. Except as otherwise set forth in the Amended Bylaws, the LaSalle Partners Nominating Committee and the JLW Nominating Committee (collectively, the "Transition Nominating Committees") will exercise all power and authority of the Board with respect to the designation of persons as the nominees of the Board for election to, or designating persons to fill vacancies on, the Board. Any Director elected by the Board to replace any JLW Director must be nominated by the JLW Nominating Committee, and any Director elected by the Board to replace any LaSalle Partners Director must be nominated by the LaSalle Partners Nominating Committee.

        In addition, the Board has established a nominating committee that will consist entirely of independent Non-Executive Directors (the "Nominating Committee"). The Committee will (i) seek out candidates and otherwise aid in attracting highly qualified candidates to serve on the Board, (ii) review the qualifications of new candidates and the performance of incumbent Directors whose terms are to expire at the next annual meeting and (iii) recommend to the Transition Nominating Committees those persons (a) to be nominated to stand for election by the stockholders to the Board and (b) to be elected by the Board to fill vacancies and newly created positions on the Board.

3



        The Nominating Committee will consider nominees for director recommended by stockholders, provided that such recommendation is made in accordance with the requirements set forth in the section headed "Stockholder Proposals," below.

        Each valid proxy returned to Jones Lang LaSalle will be voted at the Annual Meeting for the six nominees listed below, unless the proxy specifies otherwise. The Board recommends that stockholders vote FOR the election of each of the six nominees listed below. Biographical information for each of the nominees is set forth below under the caption "Management."

Board Committees and Meetings

        Jones Lang LaSalle has standing Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees of the Board.

Messrs. Hartley-Leonard (Chairman), Walter, de Bettignies and Higgs served as members of the Audit Committee during the entire year of 2001. The Audit Committee makes recommendations concerning the engagement of independent public accountants, reviews with the independent public accountants the plans and results of the audit engagement, reviews the independence of the independent public accountants, including consideration of the range of audit and non-audit fees paid to the independent public accountants, and reviews the adequacy of Jones Lang LaSalle's internal accounting controls. The Audit Committee has a written charter adopted by the Board. The Audit Committee met eight times in 2001. See also the report of the Audit Committee set forth in the section headed "Audit Committee Report," below.

        Compensation Committee.    The Board has established a Compensation Committee. Messrs. Theobald (Chairman), Walter, de Bettignies and Higgs served as members of the Compensation Committee during the entire year of 2001. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the compensation of Jones Lang LaSalle's executive officers, administers Jones Lang LaSalle's 1997 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan and Stock Ownership Program and oversees Jones Lang LaSalle's compensation programs generally. See "Executive Compensation" below. The Executive Compensation Committee met four times in 2001.

        Nominating Committees.    In addition to the Transition Nominating Committees, in early 2002 the Board established a Nominating Committee that consists entirely of independent Non-Executive Directors. Messrs. de Bettignies (Chairman), Hartley-Leonard, Higgs and Theobald are currently members of the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee will (i) seek out candidates and otherwise aid in attracting highly qualified candidates to serve on the Board, (ii) review the qualifications of new candidates and the performance of incumbent Directors whose terms are to expire at the next annual meeting and (iii) recommend to the Transition Nominating Committees those persons (a) to be nominated to stand for election by the stockholders to the Board and (b) to be elected by the Board to fill vacancies and newly created positions on the Board. The Nominating Committee has recommended to the Transition Nominating Committees the nominees for Director at this year's Annual Meeting.

        Four meetings of the full Board were held in 2001. Each Director who held such position in 2001 attended 100% of all meetings of the Board and at least 83% of the meetings of any committee on which such Director served.

Incentive Compensation

        Professional and management employees, including executive officers, receive a portion of their annual compensation in the form of incentive compensation (i.e., a bonus). Such employees are assigned a target bonus, the payment of which is based upon an evaluation of performance against specific objective and subjective standards which vary from employee to employee. Performance against these standards may lead to receiving more than, or less than, the target bonus. Additionally, bonus payments may vary in a year when Jones Lang LaSalle's results are above or below the year's business plan. Further information regarding the executive officers' bonuses is set forth below under the caption "Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation."

1997 Stock Award and Incentive Plan

        The 1997 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of various types of stock-based compensation to eligible participants. The purpose of the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan is to promote the success of Jones Lang LaSalle's business in the best interests of its stockholders by providing incentives to those individuals who are or will be responsible for such success.

        The 1997 Stock Incentive Plan is designed to comply with the requirements of Regulation G (12 C.F.R. §207), the requirements for "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code and the conditions for exemption from the short-swing profit recovery rules under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The summary that follows is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan.

        The 1997 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of stock options ("Options"), including "incentive stock options" ("ISOs") within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and nonqualified stock options. Options granted under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan may be accompanied by stock appreciation rights or limited stock appreciation rights, or both ("Rights"). Rights may also be granted independently of Options. The 1997 Stock Incentive Plan also provides for the granting of restricted stock and restricted stock units ("Restricted Awards"), dividend equivalents, performance shares and other stock—and cash-based awards. Pursuant to the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, certain Options have been and will be granted to Non-Executive Directors, as more fully described below under the caption "Director Compensation." The 1997 Stock Incentive Plan also permits the plan's administrator to make loans to

13



participants in connection with the grant of awards, on terms and conditions determined solely by the Plan Administrator. Each award is evidenced by an agreement (an "Award Agreement") setting forth the terms and conditions applicable thereto. Certain officers received a portion of their 2000 bonuses in SOP Shares (as described below under the caption "Stock Ownership Program").

        The 1997 Stock Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (sometimes referred to herein as the "Plan Administrator"). Subject to the terms of the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, the Plan Administrator has the right to grant awards to eligible recipients and to determine the terms and conditions of Award Agreements, including the vesting schedule and exercise price of such awards. The plan provides that, unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, in the event of a change in control of Jones Lang LaSalle (as defined in the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan) awards under the plan will, among other things, become fully vested and valued as provided in the plan.

        The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan is 8,610,000. These shares may be authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or shares which have been or may be reacquired by Jones Lang LaSalle in the open market, in private transactions or otherwise.

        Discretionary grants of awards under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan may be made to any Director (including Non-Executive Directors), employee or any independent contractor of Jones Lang LaSalle or its direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates who is determined by the Plan Administrator to be eligible for participation in the plan. ISOs, however, may only be granted to employees of Jones Lang LaSalle and its subsidiaries.

        Options vest and become exercisable over the exercise period, at such times and upon such conditions, including amount and manner of payment of the exercise price, as the Plan Administrator determines and sets forth in the Award Agreement. The Plan Administrator may accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding Option at such time and under such circumstances as it deems appropriate. Options that are not exercised within 10 years (or such shorter term as the Plan administrator may determine) from the date of grant, however, will expire without value. Options are exercisable during the optionee's lifetime only by the optionee. The Award Agreements contain provisions regarding the exercise of Options following termination of employment with or service to Jones Lang LaSalle, including terminations due to the death, disability or retirement of an award recipient.

        Certain of the Named Executive Officers received Options in 2001 as described above under the caption "Option Grants." Jones Lang LaSalle's Non-Executive Directors received Options in 2001 as described below under the caption "Director Compensation."

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        The purpose of the Stock Purchase Plan is to provide an opportunity for persons employed by Jones Lang LaSalle and designated subsidiaries in the United States to purchase shares of Common Stock through voluntary automatic payroll deductions, thereby attracting, retaining and rewarding such persons and strengthening the mutuality of interests between such persons and Jones Lang LaSalle's stockholders. On December 31, 2001, there were 419 employees participating in the Stock Purchase Plan.

        The Stock Purchase Plan currently provides that an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be sold pursuant to the Plan, subject to adjustment in certain events.

        The Stock Purchase Plan provides that, through a voluntary automatic payroll deduction, separate accounts will be established for each participant (the "Payroll Deduction Account"). With the amounts credited to such separate account, each participant will have the opportunity to purchase as many shares of Common Stock as he or she is eligible to purchase. Participants may purchase shares only through payroll deductions, and cash contributions will not be permitted. The purchase price for shares of Common Stock will not be less than the lesser of (a) an amount equal to 85% of the closing price of the shares of Common Stock at the beginning of the Offering Period (as defined below) or (b) an amount equal to 85% of the

14



closing price of shares of Common Stock on the date of purchase of the shares. The Stock Purchase Plan provides that the committee administering the Stock Purchase Plan (the "Committee") has the authority to establish a different purchase price as long as such price complies with the provisions of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder.

        Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Stock Purchase Plan will be implemented by establishing consecutive six-month offering periods (the "Offering Period") with a new Offering Period commencing on the first trading day on or after the first day of each January and July during the term of the Stock Purchase Plan. The Committee will have the power to change the duration of the Offering Periods (including the commencement dates thereof) with respect to future offerings. The last trading day of each Offering Period prior to the termination of the Stock Purchase Plan (or such other trading date as determined by the Committee) will constitute the purchase date on which each participant will purchase his or her appropriate number of shares (the "Share Purchase Date").

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, Jones Lang LaSalle will not permit the exercise of any right to purchase shares of Common Stock (a) by any employee who immediately after the right is granted would own shares possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of Jones Lang LaSalle or any subsidiary; or (b) which would permit an employee's rights to purchase shares under the Stock Purchase Plan, or under any other qualified employee stock purchase plan maintained by Jones Lang LaSalle, to accrue at a rate in excess of $25,000 in fair market value (as determined on the first day of the offering period) for each calendar year.

        Section 424(d) of the Code will be applied to determine the stock ownership of a participant in the Plan, and the shares that a participant may purchase under outstanding rights or options will be treated as shares owned by the participant.

        If a participant's employment is terminated for any reason, if a participant dies, if a participant is granted a leave of absence of more than 90 days duration, or if a participant otherwise ceases to be eligible to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan, payroll deductions will cease and any amounts then credited to his or her Payroll Deduction Account will be refunded to the participant as soon as practicable.

        The Stock Purchase Plan may be amended at any time; provided that no such amendment will be effective unless approved by the stockholders if such approval is necessary to comply with either Section 423 of the Code or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Stock Purchase Plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Stock Purchase Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

Stock Ownership Program

        Under the Stock Ownership Program (the "SOP") (formerly known as the Partial Bonus in Shares or PBS Program), executive officers and certain other officers received up to 20% of their 2001 bonuses in restricted stock units ("SOP Shares"). The purpose of the SOP is to link the interests of the Senior Executives to those of the shareholders. The amount of bonus paid in SOP Shares varies with the level of the participant. Jones Lang LaSalle added an uplift of 25% to the portion of 2000 and 2001 bonuses paid in SOP Shares. The SOP Shares will vest and be issued on the following schedule: 50% of the SOP Shares will vest and be issued eighteen months after the end of the year to which the bonus is attributable (i.e., July 1, 2003 with respect to 2001 bonuses), and the remaining 50% will vest and be issued thirty months after such year (i.e., July 1, 2004 with respect to 2001 bonuses). Jones Lang LaSalle, in its discretion, may pay employees cash in the amount of the fair market value of SOP Shares that vest rather than issue shares to them. Dividends, if any, paid with respect to SOP Shares prior to vesting are reinvested in further SOP Shares having the same vesting date, and a participant will also receive further SOP shares in the case of a stock split or stock dividend. A participant who is terminated for cause (as defined in the Stock Compensation Program) or who voluntarily resigns his employment will forfeit any SOP Shares which have

15



not vested. If a participant's employment terminates by reason of death, disability or special circumstances (as defined by the plan administrator), SOP Shares will continue to vest on their normal schedule; however, in such cases the plan administrator can choose to accelerate vesting. SOP Shares vest immediately upon an employee's retirement.

        In order to implement the SOP Plan, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to Jones Lang LaSalle's Stock Compensation Program and made awards under that program and the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan. Executive officers received awards under the Stock Compensation Program, as amended, and other officers received awards under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan. The terms of the awards under the SOP were identical regardless of which plan they were made under. This summary of the SOP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Stock Compensation Program, as amended, or the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, as applicable.

UK Savings Related Share Option Plan

        The Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated Savings Related Share Option (UK) Plan (the "UK Share Plan") provides an opportunity for the employees of Jones Lang LaSalle Limited, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Jones Lang LaSalle, and any qualified subsidiaries to purchase shares of Common Stock using accumulated savings from payroll deductions, thereby attracting, retaining and rewarding such persons and strengthening the mutuality of interests between such persons and the our stockholders. The Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Schedule 9 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 ("ICTA").

        The UK Share Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). The Committee is authorized, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to establish any rules and regulations for the proper administration of the Plan, to make determinations and interpretations, and to take any actions in connection with the Plan that it deems necessary or advisable. The Board of Directors may at any time and for any reason amend, suspend or discontinue the UK Share Plan.

        Subject to the adjustment provisions in the UK Share Plan (dividend or distribution, stock split, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares, or a merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization), Jones Lang LaSalle may sell up to 500,000 shares of its common stock under the UK Share Plan. These shares of common stock may be authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or shares purchased on the open market or from private sources.

        All employees, including a full-time director, of Jones Lang LaSalle Europe Limited and of each qualified subsidiary are eligible to participate in the UK Share Plan except (a) employees who have been employed for less than six months at the date of invitation; or (b) employees who are not chargeable to income tax in the United Kingdom under Case 1, Schedule E of ICTA. At the election of the participant, the UK Share Plan provides a savings period of both thirty-six months and sixty months. Participants savings are used at the end of the savings period to purchase the appropriate number of shares. Jones Lang LaSalle will establish on its books and records an account for each participant in the UK Share Plan, and will credit all payroll deductions made to this account. A participant may withdraw from an offering period at any time. Once the participant has withdrawn there is no opportunity to resume participation for that savings contract. The body administering the Plan will make any repayment of savings to the participant if so requested.

        The participant can exercise their option in whole or in part following the earliest of (a) the end of the savings period; (b) the death of the participant; (c) the participant ceasing to be in employment by reason of retirement, injury, disability or redundancy; (d) the participant ceasing to be employed due to a change in control of the company or the business in which the participant is employed; (e) the participant reaching the age of sixty-five and continuing to be in employment; and (f) the date on which an option becomes exercisable pursuant to a takeover, reconstruction or voluntary winding up of Jones Lang LaSalle Europe Limited. An option shall lapse to the extent it has not be exercised by the earliest of (a) the expiry of six

16



months from the end of the savings period; (b) on death the expiry of twelve months after death (or twelve months from the end of the savings period if died during the six months following the end of the savings period); or (c) the expiry of six months following retirement, injury, disability, redundancy or change of control. Rights granted under the Plan may not be transferred by the participant in any way (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution) and are exercisable during the participant's lifetime only by the participant.

        The purchase price for shares of common stock will be the price in US Dollars for the acquisition of a share comprised in any option, but will not be less than an amount equal to 85% of the average of the high and low prices of shares of common stock as listed by the New York Stock Exchange on a date which will be no more than forty-two days before the date options are granted.

        This summary of the UK Share Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the UK Share Plan.

Employment Agreements

        Messrs. Peacock and Orr are parties to Senior Executive Service Agreements (the "Employment Agreements") providing terms of their employment with Jones Lang LaSalle. The Employment Agreements are in a form used with other senior executives employed in the United Kingdom. The Employment Agreements provide for minimum levels of base salary (£260,000 for Mr. Peacock and £162,500 for Mr. Orr), participation in bonus arrangements established by Jones Lang LaSalle and certain other benefits. They require Messrs. Peacock and Orr to dedicate their whole time and attention to their work with Jones Lang LaSalle and prohibit them from having any other employment. Additionally, they provide for certain restrictions on their business activities following termination of employment. The Employment Agreement may be terminated by Jones Lang LaSalle on twelve months notice and by the covered executive on six months notice. If Jones Lang LaSalle terminates a covered executive's employment other than for reasons specified in the Employment Agreements, the covered executive would be entitled to twelve months of salary and the value of other benefits provided for in the Employment Agreements.

Severance Pay Plan

        Jones Lang LaSalle has a Severance Pay Plan for full time employees, including executive officers, employed in the United States. In order to be eligible to receive payments under the Severance Pay Plan, an employee must be involuntarily terminated from employment due to a permanent reduction in work force, job elimination or the permanent shutdown of a facility, department or subdivision. Employees entitled to benefits receive a base severance payment equal to one-half month of the participant's base pay (not including target bonus) in effect at the time of the termination of employment ("Base Pay"). Additionally, an employee may receive enhanced severance pay, to the extent the employee executes a Severance Agreement and General Release in favor of Jones Lang LaSalle. Enhanced severance payments are a multiple of Base Pay, with multiples varying with the employee's position level and length of service with Jones Lang LaSalle.

        Jones Lang LaSalle is obligated to make statutory payments to employees, including executive officers, employed in the United Kingdom who are terminated for reasons of redundancy. For an executive officer who is made redundant, the required payment would be calculated according to a formula, set by the United Kingdom government, based on age and length of service. In addition, the payments provided for in the executive officer's contract of employment (including the Employment Agreements described above under the caption "Employment Agreements") would be made.

Director Compensation

        In 2001, each Non-Executive Director received an annual retainer of $40,000 and $1,000 for attendance at each meeting ($500 for special telephonic meetings) of the Board, the Audit Committee or the Compensation Committee, plus a grant of options to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock. Directors who are also officers or employees of Jones Lang LaSalle are not paid any Directors' fees. Jones Lang LaSalle reimburses all Directors for expenses incurred in attending meetings.

        Each Non-Executive Director elected to the Board for the first time receives upon such election an initial grant of options to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock at fair market value on the date of grant. In addition, each Non-Executive Director receives an annual grant of options to purchase 5,000 shares on the day after each annual stockholders meeting after which the Non-Executive Director continues in office. 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 are made automatically under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan. Each Non-Executive Director may also elect, under the terms of the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, to receive, in lieu of the annual cash retainer, an option for a number of shares such that the value of the option is equal to the amount of the annual retainer. The 1997 Stock Incentive Plan provides that the value of these options is 33% of the exercise price for options issued with respect to 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. For options issued with respect to years thereafter, the value will be based upon the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. For options issued with respect to 1999 and years thereafter, the exercise price is equal to the average closing prices of Jones Lang LaSalle common stock on the last trading day of each calendar quarter during the year. Such stock options are granted on January 1 of the year following the year in which the retainer is earned, are fully vested upon grant and have 10-year terms.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        There are no Compensation Committee interlocks or insider participation on the Compensation Committee. Certain executive officers have and will attend meetings of the Compensation Committee in order to present information and answer questions of the members of the Compensation Committee.

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

        The Compensation Committee is responsible for the oversight of executive compensation and Jones Lang LaSalle's compensation programs, including those with respect to stock ownership.

        Jones Lang LaSalle's believes that its employee compensation system is unusual in the real estate industry in many parts of the world, including the United States. The system is designed to reward client relationship building, teamwork and quality performance, as well as to foster employee commitment and align employee and stockholder interests. Toward this end, Jones Lang LaSalle compensates its professionals and managers with salary, bonus and stock ownership programs, rather than on the commission basis which is typical in the United States and other parts of the world.

        Annual Compensation.    The executive officers are assigned target annual compensation consisting of a salary and target bonus. The executive officers' 2001 salary and target bonuses were approved by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the year. Target bonus levels for executive officers are set to provide compensation levels which are sufficiently competitive to attract and retain high caliber executives.

        As set forth above under the caption "Incentive Compensation", the payment of an employee's bonus is based upon an evaluation of performance against specific performance objectives set early in the year. These performance objectives include both objective and subjective standards and vary from employee to employee. For Mr. Scott, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in 2001, Mr. Peacock, President, Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer in 2001 and Mr. Roberts, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer in 2001, performance objectives for 2001 fell into two principal categories,

18



financial performance of Jones Lang LaSalle and performance on individualized objectives. The executive officers who are heads of regional or global business units are also measured on these two standards as well as on the financial performance of the regional or global business unit for which the executive officer was responsible.

        The performance objectives relating to financial performance of Jones Lang LaSalle were measured on achievement of the earnings per share target for the year and, with respect to Messrs. Scott, Peacock and Roberts, development of a plan for 2002. Those executive officers also evaluated on the financial performance of their regional or global business units were measured on achievement of the financial plan. Individualized performance objectives concentrated on key matters upon which the particular executive officer was to focus and were set based upon identified goals for Jones Lang LaSalle as a whole, as well as identified goals for particular business units or groups of business units. The Compensation Committee has encouraged management to set performance objectives, to the extent possible, in a manner which allows objective measurement of performance, including by setting quantitative standards where appropriate.

        The determination of Mr. Scott's compensation by the Compensation Committee is explained below under "Compensation of Chief Executive Officer." Mr. Scott reviewed the performance of Mr. Peacock and Mr. Roberts, determined recommended compensation levels based upon his evaluation of performance against objectives and presented his evaluation and the resulting recommendations with respect to compensation to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviewed these evaluations and recommendations, discussed them with Mr. Scott and approved the recommended compensation. Mr. Peacock reviewed the performance of each of the other executive officers (other than Mr. Scott and Mr. Roberts), determined compensation levels based upon his evaluation of performance against objectives and presented these to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee approved the aggregate amount of compensation to be paid to these executive officers and reviewed the distribution of compensation among these executive officers.

        Stock Plans and Programs.    The executive officers are eligible to receive Options and other awards under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan. Certain executive officers were granted Options in May 2001, with exercise prices equal to $13.00 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant. These Options vest with respect to one-third of the shares on each of the first three anniversary dates of the date of grant and have terms of seven years. Ongoing awards under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan are expected to be made annually. Additionally, awards are made to new employees as an incentive to join Jones Lang LaSalle and to other recipients in special situations.

        The Stock Purchase Plan, the SOP and the UK Share Plan described above under the captions "Employee Stock Purchase Plan", "Stock Ownership Program" and "UK Savings Related Share Option Plan" also provide certain executive officers, as well as other employees, a means for accumulating Jones Lang LaSalle Common Stock. The Stock Purchase Plan provides employees in the United States with a means to purchase stock at a 15% discount through regular payroll deductions. Under the SOP, executive officers receive a portion of their bonuses in restricted stock units as described above under the caption "Stock Ownership Program". Other officers at certain levels also participate in the SOP. The UK Share Plan provides employees in the UK with an option to purchase stock at a 15% discount through regular payroll deductions.

        Compensation of Chief Executive Officer.    As with the other executive officers, Mr. Scott's 2001 target compensation was established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the year. Target bonus constituted 60% of Mr. Scott's target compensation for the year. Mr. Scott's performance objectives relating to financial performance of Jones Lang LaSalle were measured against achievement of the earnings per share target for the year and development of a plan for 2002. For 2001, Jones Lang LaSalle announced a target of 15% growth in earnings per share over 2000 to $1.63. Jones Lang LaSalle in fact reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.31 (The $1.31 excludes $77.2 million of non-operational non-recurring charges.). A plan for 2002 has been presented to the Board of Directors. Mr. Scott's

19



individualized objectives involved assuring the successful introduction and implementation of the Total Performance Management program, increasing institutional investor holdings of Jones Lang LaSalle stock, raising co-investment capital for LaSalle Investment Management and leading a successful management succession process. Mr. Scott provided the Compensation Committee with written information regarding his performance on his objectives and discussed this information with the Compensation Committee. Based upon its evaluation of Mr. Scott's performance on the various objectives, the Compensation Committee determined the portion of Mr. Scott's target bonus to be paid to him for the year.

        Certain Tax Matters.    United States tax laws limit the deduction a publicly held corporation is allowed for compensation paid to the chief executive officer and to the four most highly compensated executive officers other than the chief executive officer. Generally, amounts paid in excess of $1 million to a covered executive, other than performance compensation, cannot be deducted. Jones Lang LaSalle considers ways to maximize the deductibility of executive compensation but reserves the right to compensate executive officers in a manner commensurate with performance and the competitive environment for executive talent. As a result, some portion of executive compensation paid to an executive officer whose compensation is subject to the deduction limits described above may not be deductible by Jones Lang LaSalle in the United States.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

        Jones Lang LaSalle provides property management and leasing and investment management services to The Dai-ichi Mutual Life Insurance Company, a significant beneficial owner (indirectly through various entities) of Common Stock of Jones Lang LaSalle, and its affiliates ("Dai-ichi"). Jones Lang LaSalle earned $7.6 million in fees from Dai-ichi in 2001 with respect to such services. At the end of 2001, Jones Lang LaSalle had receivables of $.4 million due from Dai-ichi with respect to such services. Jones Lang LaSalle believes that the services provided to Dai-ichi and its affiliates are on terms no more favorable to Dai-ichi than those available to unaffiliated persons.

        Jones Lang LaSalle provides property management and leasing and investment management services to Gothaer Lebensversicherung A.G., a significant beneficial owner of Common Stock of Jones Lang LaSalle, and its affiliates ("Gothaer"). Jones Lang LaSalle earned $1.4 million in fees from Gothaer in 2001 with respect to such services. At the end of 2001, Jones Lang LaSalle had receivables of $67,710 due

21



from Gothaer with respect to such services. Jones Lang LaSalle believes that the services provided to Gothaer are on terms no more favorable to Gothaer than those available to unaffiliated persons.

        In connection with the transactions pursuant to which the interests in the Predecessor Partnerships were contributed to Jones Lang LaSalle, Jones Lang LaSalle granted registration rights to certain Dai-ichi affiliates, as well as certain other parties, with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued to them in exchange for such contributions. The Directors and executive officers who are parties to the Stockholder Agreements and the DEL Stockholder Agreements may be given the right to register shares of Common Stock which they hold in accordance with those agreements.

        From time to time, Directors and executive officers are given an opportunity to invest in investment vehicles managed by subsidiaries of Jones Lang LaSalle on the same terms as other unaffiliated investors. Additionally, executive officers and other employees have been, and in the future may be, allowed to acquire small interests in certain investment vehicles in order that these vehicles can satisfy certain tax requirements. Prior to 2001, Jones Lang LaSalle and Directors and executive officers, like unaffiliated investors, made investments directly into individual real estate ventures. Effective January 1, 2001, Jones Lang LaSalle determined that it would use LaSalle Investment Limited Partnership ("LILP") as the investment vehicle for substantially all of its co-investments with LaSalle Investment Management clients. Jones Lang LaSalle has committed to invest up to 49.5% of LILP's commitments with the balance being funded by institutional investors and high net worth individuals who have invested in LILP. As of December 31, 2001, Thomas C. Theobald and Derek A. Higgs, both non-Executive Directors, have invested Euro 108,766 and 18,128, respectively and have committed to invest a total of Euro 3,000,000 and 500,000, respectively, through LILP. In addition, as of December 31, 2001, Stuart L. Scott, Chairman of the Board has invested Euro 90,639 and has committed Euro 2,500,000 through LILP. Finally, as of December 31, 2001, Gothaer Lebensversicherung AG, a holder of more than 5% of Jones Lang LaSalle Common Stock, and affiliated entities have invested Euro 1,812,779 and have committed Euro 50,000,000 through LILP. As mentioned above, these investments are made on the same terms as unaffiliated investors in LILP.

        Lynn C. Thurber, Chief Executive Officer of LaSalle Investment Management and a Director of Jones Lang LaSalle invested the amount of $100,000 in a fund managed by one of Jones Lang LaSalle's subsidiaries. Ms. Thurber borrowed $95,000 from the Company in order to fund part of this. The loan is secured by a security interest in the investment made by Ms. Thurber and is on a non-recourse basis. Interest on the loan is paid per annum in an amount equal to the lesser of the Company's cost of borrowings, an average of approximately 6.5% since execution of the loan, and the maximum amount permitted by law. Principal and interest are paid on the loan through distributions made by the investment. If distributions from the investment are not sufficient to fund annual principal payments, the necessary amounts will be withheld from Ms. Thurber's annual bonus. Outstanding principal and accrued interest are due the earlier of (i) termination of Ms. Thurber's employment with the Company, regardless of cause, (ii) the date all of the assets of the fund are sold, or (iii) December 31, 2010. During 2001, the highest outstanding balance of accrued and unpaid interest plus principal was $99,326 and as of January 31, 2002, the balance was $94,112.

        Mr. Scott, as well as an entity affiliated with Mr. Scott, are limited partners of Diverse Real Estate Holdings Limited Partnership ("Diverse"). Diverse has an ownership interest in and operates investment assets, primarily as the managing general partner of real estate development ventures. Prior to January 1, 1992, Jones Lang LaSalle earned fees for providing development advisory services to Diverse as well as fees for the provision of administrative services. Effective January 1, 1992, Jones Lang LaSalle discontinued charging fees to Diverse for these services. In 1992, Diverse began the process of discontinuing its operations and disposing of its assets. In 2001, Diverse made no payments to Jones Lang LaSalle. At the end of 2001, the total receivable due from Diverse in connection with such fees and interest thereon was $.7 million. Mr. Scott directly holds an approximately 13.4% partnership interest in Diverse.

22



In addition, the Stuart Scott Trust, a trust affiliated with Mr. Scott, has a 6.4% partnership interest in Diverse. Diverse did not make distributions to its partners in 2001.

Based solely upon a review of such reports and amendments thereto furnished to Jones Lang LaSalle and upon written representations of certain of such persons regarding their ownership of Common Stock, Jones Lang LaSalle believes that no such person failed to file any such report on a timely basis during 2001.


PROPOSAL 2


RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

        The Board, with the recommendation of the Audit Committee, has appointed the firm of KPMG LLP as Jones Lang LaSalle's independent auditors for 2002. A proposal to ratify this appointment will be presented at the Annual Meeting.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

        The Audit Committee of the Board is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of Jones Lang LaSalle's accounting functions and internal controls. The Audit Committee is composed of four Directors, each of whom is independent as defined by the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board of Directors. A copy of the charter was attached to the Proxy Statement for the 2001 Annual Meeting.

        Management is responsible for Jones Lang LaSalle's internal controls and financial reporting process. The independent accountants are responsible for performing an independent audit of Jones Lang LaSalle's consolidated financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and to issue a report thereon. The Audit Committee's responsibility is to review these processes.

        In connection with these responsibilities, the Audit Committee met with management and the independent accountants to review and discuss the December 31, 2001 financial statements. The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent accountants the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). The Audit Committee also received written disclosures from the independent accountants required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Audit Committee discussed with the independent accountants that firm's independence.

        Based upon the Audit Committee's discussions with management and the independent accountants, and the Audit Committee's review of the representations of management and the independent accountants, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in Jones Lang LaSalle's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PROPOSAL 3


STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL TO DECLASSIFY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

        The Service Employees International Union, 1313 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20005, record holder of 220 shares of Jones Lang LaSalle Common Stock, has given notice that it will introduce the following resolution and supporting statement at the Annual Meeting:


SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL

        RESOLVED: That the shareholders of Jones Lang LaSalle, Inc. urge the Board of Directors take the necessary steps to declassify the Board of Directors for the purpose of Director elections. The Board declassification shall be done in a manner that does not affect the unexpired terms of Directors previously elected.


SUPPORTING STATEMENT

        We believe the election of Directors is the most powerful way that shareholders influence the strategic direction of our company. Currently the Board of Directors of Jones Lang LaSalle, Inc. is divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms. It is our belief that the classification of the Board of Directors is not in the best interests of Jones Lang LaSalle, Inc. and its shareholders. The elimination of the staggered board would require each Director to stand for election annually. This procedure would allow shareholders an opportunity to annually register their views on the performance of the board collectively and each Director individually. Concerns that the annual election of Directors would leave Jones Lang LaSalle, Inc. without experienced board members in the event that all incumbents are voted out are unfounded. If the owners should choose to replace the entire board, it would be obvious that the incumbent Directors' contributions were not valued.

        A classified board of Directors protects the incumbency of the board of Directors and current management, which in turn limits accountability to stockholders. It is our belief Jones Lang LaSalle, Inc.'s corporate governance procedures and practices, and the level of management accountability they impose, are related to the financial performance of the company. While Jones Lang LaSalle, Inc.'s current performance is good, we believe sound corporate governance practices, such as the annual election of

27



Directors, will impose the level of management accountability necessary to help insure that a good performance record continues over the long term.

        Classified boards like ours have become increasingly unpopular in recent years. Last year a majority of shareholders supported proposals asking their boards to repeal classified board structures at a number of respected companies, including Kroger, Merck, Airborne, Albertson's Inc., U.S. Bancorp, Delphi Automotive, Maytag, United Health Group, Wisconsin Energy, and Alaska Air Group.

        For a greater voice in the governance of Jones Lang LaSalle, Inc. and annual Board of Directors accountability we ask shareholder to vote YES on this proposal.


BOARD RESPONSE

The Board unanimously recommends a vote AGAINST the proposal for the following reasons:

        The Board believes that the classified board provides important benefits to Jones Lang LaSalle and our stockholders:

        The Board takes its responsibility to our stockholders seriously, and Jones Lang LaSalle does not believe that the use of a classified board minimizes accountability. Stockholders have an annual opportunity to express their approval, or disapproval, of the performance of the Board as each class of directors stands for election.

        Approval of this proposal would not automatically eliminate the classified board, but would be a recommendation to the Board that it propose to stockholders an amendment to Jones Lang LaSalle's Articles of Incorporation to eliminate the classified board. Under Jones Lang LaSalle's Articles of Incorporation, an amendment to eliminate the classified board would require the approval of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. This proposal, however, requires the approval of only a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

For these reasons, the Board recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

        Stockholder proposals intended to be presented at the year 2003 Annual Meeting and included in Jones Lang LaSalle's proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be received by Jones Lang LaSalle at Jones Lang LaSalle's principal

28

In order for stockholder proposals made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act to be considered "timely" within the meaning of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act, such proposals must be received by Jones Lang LaSalle at Jones Lang LaSalle's principal executive offices by February 15, 2003. The Amended Bylaws require that proposals of stockholders made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be submitted, in accordance with the requirements of the Amended Bylaws, not later than February 15, 2003 and not earlier than January 14, 2003.


PROXY SOLICITATION EXPENSE
