Martin, who currently oversees finance and information technology, will now
assume responsibility for all aspects of the firm's operational platform.
She reports to Colin Dyer, Chief Executive Officer of Jones Lang LaSalle.

"Lauralee has made tremendous contributions as CFO to Jones Lang LaSalle's
financial performance, in terms of delivering shareholder value and

business model -- one of diversified business lines and geographic regions
operating cohesively for clients as one global organization," said Ms.

performance by implementing financial disciplines and communicating our
value proposition to investors. Through the efforts of our excellent
finance team, we now have in place a strong balance sheet, good cash flow
and solid financial disciplines. The market has valued our performance and
potential as reflected in the share price, and I now see even greater

clients at the most effective cost to our shareholders, accomplished by a
focus on technology systems and processes."
