	Significant Accounting Policies
	For a complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The December 31, 2013 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP’s wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. (“EGL”), a registered broker-dealer in the U.S. The Company’s policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE, except for certain VIEs that qualify for accounting purposes as investment companies. The Company reviews factors, including the rights of the equity holders and obligations of equity holders to absorb losses or receive expected residual returns, to determine if the investment is a VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly or indirectly by the Company. The consolidation analysis is generally performed qualitatively. This analysis, which requires judgment, is performed at each reporting date.
	In February 2010, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-10, “Amendments for Certain Investment Funds”, was issued. This ASU defers the application of the revised consolidation rules for a reporting entity’s interest in an entity if certain conditions are met, including if the entity has the attributes of an investment company and is not a securitization or asset-backed financing entity. An entity that qualifies for the deferral will continue to be assessed for consolidation under the overall guidance on VIEs, before its amendment, and other applicable consolidation guidance. Generally, the Company would consolidate those entities when it absorbs a majority of the expected losses or a majority of the expected residual returns, or both, of the entities.
	For entities (principally funds) that the Company has concluded are not VIEs, the Company then evaluates whether the fund is a partnership or similar entity. If the fund is a partnership or similar entity, the Company evaluates the fund under the partnership consolidation guidance. Pursuant to that guidance, the Company consolidates funds in which it is the general partner and/or manages through a contract, unless presumption of control by the Company can be overcome. This presumption is overcome only when unrelated investors in the fund have the substantive ability to liquidate the fund or otherwise remove the Company as the general partner without cause, based on a simple majority vote of unaffiliated investors, or have other substantive participating rights. If the presumption of control can be overcome, the Company accounts for its interest in the fund pursuant to the equity method of accounting.
	All intercompany balances and transactions with the Company’s subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

	ASU 2013-05 – In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity” (“ASU 2013-05”). ASU 2013-05 provides amendments to ASC No. 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”, which are intended to resolve diversity in practice by clarifying the guidance for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. The amendments also clarify the guidance for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income for business combinations achieved in stages involving a foreign entity. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.
	ASU 2013-08 – In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-08, “Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU 2013-08”). ASU 2013-08 provides amendments to ASC No. 946, "Financial Services - Investment Companies", and clarifies the approach to be used for determining whether an entity is an investment company and provides new measurement and disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption prohibited. The adoption of ASU 2013-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.
	ASU 2013-11 – In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 provides amendments to ASC No. 740, “Income Taxes”, which clarify the guidance for the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments require that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. If a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.
	ASU 2014-08 – In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (“ASU 2014-08”). ASU 2014-08 provides amendments to ASC No. 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements”, and ASC No. 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment", which change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. The amendments in this update improve the definition of discontinued operations by limiting discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The amendments also require expanded disclosures for discontinued operations and also require an entity to disclose the pretax profit or loss (or change in net assets for a not-for-profit entity) of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this update on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.

	Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
	The Company, through Evercore Casa de Bolsa, S.A. de C.V. (“ECB”), enters into repurchase agreements with clients seeking overnight money market returns whereby ECB transfers to the clients Mexican government securities in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to repurchase the securities at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus a stipulated premium or interest factor. ECB deploys the cash received from, and acquires the securities deliverable to, clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market, which the Company reflects as Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, or by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties. The Company accounts for these repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements as collateralized financing transactions, which are carried at their contract amounts, which approximate fair value given that the contracts generally mature the following business day. The Company records a liability on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in relation to repurchase transactions executed with clients as Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. The Company records as assets on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value (where the Company has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market) and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell (where the Company has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase agreements by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties). These Mexican government securities have an estimated average time to maturity of approximately 1.9 years, as of March 31, 2014, and are pledged as collateral against repurchase agreements. Generally, collateral is posted equal to the contract value at inception and is subject to market changes. These repurchase agreements are primarily with institutional customer accounts managed by ECB and permit the counterparty to pledge the securities.
	As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, a summary of the Company’s assets, liabilities and collateral received or pledged related to these transactions is as follows:

	Investments
	The Company’s investments reported on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition consist of investments in private equity partnerships, Trilantic Capital Partners ("Trilantic") and other investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies. The Company’s investments are relatively high-risk and illiquid assets.
	The Company’s investments in private equity partnerships consist of investment interests in private equity funds which are voting interest entities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on the private equity investments are included within Investment Management Revenue, as the Company considers this activity integral to its Private Equity business.
	The Company also has investments in G5 ǀ Evercore and ABS Investment Management, LLC ("ABS"), which are voting interest entities. The Company's investment in Evercore Pan-Asset Capital Management ("Pan") became a VIE and was subsequently sold in December 2013. The Company’s share of earnings (losses) on the investments in G5 ǀ Evercore, ABS and Pan (prior to its consolidation on March 15, 2013) are included within Income from Equity Method Investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Investments in Private Equity
	Private Equity Funds
	The Company’s investments related to private equity partnerships and associated entities include investments in Evercore Capital Partners II, L.P. (“ECP II”), Discovery Americas I, L.P. (the “Discovery Fund”), Evercore Mexico Capital Partners II, L.P. (“EMCP II”), Evercore Mexico Capital Partners III, L.P. (“EMCP III”), CSI Capital, L.P. (“CSI Capital”), Trilantic Capital Partners Associates IV, L.P. (“Trilantic IV”) and Trilantic Capital Partners V, L.P. ("Trilantic V"). Portfolio holdings of the private equity funds are carried at fair value. Accordingly, the Company reflects its pro rata share of the unrealized gains and losses occurring from changes in fair value. Additionally, the Company reflects its pro rata share of realized gains, losses and carried interest associated with any investment realizations.
	In 2013, the Company held a fourth and final closing on EMCP III, a private equity fund focused on middle market investments in Mexico. The total subscribed capital commitments of $201,000 included a capital commitment of $10,750 by the general partner of EMCP III, Evercore Mexico Partners III ("EMP III"), of which $1,000 relates to the Company and $9,750 relates to noncontrolling interest holders. At March 31, 2014, unfunded commitments of EMP III were $6,864, including $639 due from the Company.
	A summary of the Company’s investment in the private equity funds as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows:
		31-Mar-14		December 31, 2013
	ECP II	$	3,307	$	3,251
	Discovery Fund	3,222		5,015
	EMCP II	11,269		11,125
	EMCP III	4,681		3,852
	CSI Capital	3,509		3,248
	Trilantic IV	4,183		4,356
	Trilantic V	1,532		1,532
	Total Private Equity Funds	$	31,703	$	32,379
	Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on private equity fund investments, including performance fees, were ($61) and $477 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In the event the funds perform poorly, the Company may be obligated to repay certain carried interest previously distributed. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $2,701 of previously received carried interest that may be subject to repayment.
	General Partners of Private Equity Funds which are VIEs
	The Company has concluded that EP II L.L.C., the general partner of ECP II, is a VIE pursuant to ASC 810, "Consolidation" ("ASC 810"). The Company owns 8%-9% of the carried interest earned by the general partner of ECP II. The Company’s assessment of the design of EP II L.L.C. resulted in the determination that the Company is not acting as an agent for other members of the general partner and is a passive holder of interests in the fund, evidenced by the fact that the Company is a non-voting, non-managing member of the general partner and, therefore, has no authority in directing the management operations of the general partner. Furthermore, the Company does not have the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially have a significant impact to EP II L.L.C. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of EP II L.L.C and has not consolidated EP II L.L.C. in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In 2013, EMP III, amended and restated its Limited Partnership Agreement and admitted certain limited partners, which are related parties of the Company.  The Company viewed this modification as a reconsideration event under ASC 810-10, and concluded that EMP III is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE. Specifically, the Company's general partner interests in EMP III provide the Company the ability to make decisions that significantly impact the economic performance of EMP III, while the limited partners do not possess substantive participating rights over EMP III. The Company's assessment of the primary beneficiary of EMP III included assessing which parties have the power to significantly impact the economic performance of EMP III and the obligation to absorb losses, which could be potentially significant to EMP III, or the right to receive benefits from EMP III that could be potentially significant. The Company had previously consolidated EMP III as a voting interest entity; accordingly, consolidating as a VIE had no impact on the assets and liabilities of the Company. The Company consolidated EMP III assets of $4,681 and liabilities of $37 in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at March 31, 2014 and assets of $4,287 and liabilities of $32 at December 31, 2013. The assets retained by EMP III are for the benefit of the interest holders of EMP III and the liabilities are generally non-recourse to the Company.
	Investment in Trilantic Capital Partners
	In 2010, the Company made a limited partnership investment in Trilantic in exchange for 500 Evercore LP partnership units ("LP Units") having a fair value of $16,090. This investment gave the Company the right to invest in Trilantic’s current and future private equity funds, beginning with Trilantic Fund IV. The Company accounts for this investment under the cost method, subject to impairment. The Company allocates the cost of this investment to its investments in current and future Trilantic funds, as the Company satisfies the capital calls of these funds. The Company bases this allocation on its expectation of Trilantic’s future fundraising ability and performance. During 2013, $825 and $29 of this investment was allocated to Trilantic Fund V and Trilantic Fund IV, respectively. From 2010 to 2012, $1,091 of this investment was allocated to Trilantic Fund IV. This investment had a balance of $14,145 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company has a $5,000 commitment to invest in Trilantic Fund V, of which $4,265 is unfunded at March 31, 2014. The Company and Trilantic anticipate that the Company will participate in the successor funds to Trilantic Fund V. The Company further anticipates that participation in successor funds will be at amounts comparable to those of Trilantic Fund V.
	Equity Method Investments
	A summary of the Company’s other investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows:
		31-Mar-14		December 31, 2013
	G5 ǀ Evercore	$	19,306	$	20,001
	ABS	41,660		47,559
	Total	$	60,966	$	67,560
	G5 ǀ Evercore
	In 2010, the Company made an investment accounted for under the equity method of accounting in G5 ǀ Evercore. At March 31, 2014, the Company’s economic ownership interest in G5 ǀ Evercore was 48%. This investment resulted in losses of ($837) and ($63) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, included within Income from Equity Method Investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	ABS
	In 2011, the Company made an investment accounted for under the equity method of accounting in ABS. At March 31, 2014, the Company’s economic ownership interest in ABS was 45%. This investment resulted in earnings of $1,078 and $874 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, included within Income from Equity Method Investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Pan
	In 2008, the Company made an investment accounted for under the equity method of accounting of $4,158 in Pan. This investment resulted in losses of ($55) for the three months ended March 31, 2013, included within Income from Equity Method Investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In 2011 and 2012, the Company concluded that Pan was a VIE, and that the Company was not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. On March 15, 2013, the Company exchanged its notes receivable from Pan for additional common equity, increasing its common equity ownership interest to 68%, from 50%. The Company viewed this transaction as a reconsideration event and concluded that it had become the primary beneficiary of Pan, and therefore consolidated Pan in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of that date. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of Pan because it possessed the power to significantly impact the economic performance of Pan and maintained the obligation to absorb losses of Pan, which could be potentially significant, or the right to receive benefits from Pan, that could be potentially significant. The assets retained by Pan are not generally available to the Company and the liabilities are generally non-recourse to the Company. The consolidation also resulted in goodwill of $3,020 and intangible assets relating to client relationships of $1,440, recognized in the Investment Management Segment. The intangible assets were being amortized over an estimated useful life of seven years. The Company subsequently sold its investment on December 3, 2013. Accordingly, its results are reflected in Discontinued Operations on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Other
	The Company allocates the purchase price of its equity method investments, in part, to the inherent finite-lived identifiable intangible assets of the investees. The Company’s share of the earnings of the investees has been reduced by the amortization of these identifiable intangible assets inherent in the investments of $647 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily-available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
	Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
	Level I – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I include listed equities and listed derivatives. As required by ASC 820, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
	Level II – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. The estimated fair values of the Corporate Bonds, Municipal Bonds, Other Debt Securities and Securities Investments held at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are based on quoted market prices provided by external pricing services.
	Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.
	The following table presents the categorization of investments and certain other financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:
		31-Mar-14
		Level I		Level II		Level III		Total

	In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.
	The Company had no transfers between fair value levels during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or the year ended December 31, 2013.
	The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instrument assets and liabilities, which are not measured at fair value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, are listed in the tables below.

	The fair value of the Company’s Notes Payable is estimated based on a present value analysis utilizing aggregate market yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar financial instruments.
	The carrying amounts reported on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition for Cash and Cash Equivalents, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell, Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase, Accounts Receivable, Receivables from Employees and Related Parties, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, Payables to Employees and Related Parties and Assets Segregated for Bank Regulatory Requirements approximate fair value due to the short term nature of these items.

	Issuance of Notes Payable and Warrants
	On August 21, 2008, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd. (“Mizuho”) pursuant to which Mizuho purchased from the Company $120,000 principal amount of Senior Notes, due 2020 with a 5.20% coupon ("Senior Notes"), and warrants to purchase 5,455 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Shares”) at $22.00 per share (the “Warrants”) expiring in 2020. Based on their relative fair value at issuance, plus accretion, the Senior Notes and Warrants were reflected in Notes Payable and Additional Paid-In-Capital on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Senior Notes have an effective yield of 7.94%.
	The holder of the Senior Notes may require the Company to purchase, for cash, all or any portion of the holder’s Senior Notes upon a change of control of the Company for a price equal to the aggregate accreted amount of such Senior Notes, (the “Accreted Amount”), plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Atalanta Sosnoff interest excludes the Series C Profits Interest, which has been reflected in Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Noncontrolling Interest for Evercore LP, EWM, Atalanta Sosnoff, Institutional Equities and PCA have rights, in certain circumstances, to convert into Class A Shares.
	Changes in Noncontrolling Interest for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

	Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest related to Pan from Discontinued Operations was ($384) for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
	Other comprehensive income (loss) attributed to Noncontrolling Interest includes Unrealized Gain on Marketable Securities, net, of $187 and $117 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), net, of $46 and ($123) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	In February 2010, Evercore LP issued 500 LP Units to Trilantic. The original terms were such that at December 31, 2014, at the option of the holder, these LP Units were exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Class A Shares or may be redeemed for cash of $16,500. Accordingly, this value was being accreted to the minimum redemption value of $16,500 over the five-year period ending December 31, 2014. Accretion was $21 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. In October of 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company agreed to release the transfer restrictions associated with these LP Units and the holders of these units exchanged them into Class A Shares.
	In conjunction with the Company’s purchase agreement with Atalanta Sosnoff, the Company issued a management member of Atalanta Sosnoff certain capital interests in Atalanta Sosnoff, which are redeemable for cash, at their fair value. Accordingly, these capital interests have been reflected at their fair value of $4,283 within Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
	EWM has issued capital interests to certain employees which may be redeemable for cash at fair value at certain points in the future. Accordingly, these interests have been reflected at their fair value of $34,577 and $32,523 within Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests held by the principals of EWM (“EWM Units”) increased from December 31, 2013 primarily as a result of higher valuations attributed to asset managers, as measured by multiples of expected earnings. In April 2014, the Company entered into a commitment to purchase 3 units, or 22%, of the aggregate amount of the outstanding EWM Class A units held by members of EWM for Class A Shares and LP Units of the Company, at a fair value of $7,100. This transaction is expected to settle in May 2014 and will increase the Company's ownership in EWM to 62% immediately following this transaction.

	(a)	The Company has outstanding LP Units in its subsidiary, Evercore LP, which give the holders the right to receive Class A Shares upon exchange on a one for one basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the LP Units were antidilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders. The units that would have been included in the denominator of the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 5,085 and 6,799 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The adjustment to the numerator, Diluted net income attributable to Class A common shareholders, if the effect would have been dilutive, would have been $1,589 and $1,247 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all vested LP Units, and all unvested LP Units after applying the treasury stock method, are converted into Class A Shares, that all earnings attributable to those shares are attributed to Evercore Partners Inc. and, that it has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C Corporation in the U.S. at prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not anticipate that the LP Units will result in a dilutive computation in future periods.
	The shares of Class B common stock have no right to receive dividends or a distribution on liquidation or winding up of the Company. The shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings of the Company and no earnings are allocable to such class. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income per share of Class B common stock have not been presented.

	Share-Based and Other Deferred Compensation
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted employees 1,798 Service-based Awards. These awards had grant date fair values from $54.29 to $58.67 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, 2,039 Service-based Awards vested and 91 Service-based Awards were forfeited.
	During 2011, the Company launched a deferred compensation program providing participants the ability to elect to receive a portion of their deferred compensation in cash, which is indexed to a notional investment portfolio and vests ratably over four years and requires payment upon vesting. Compensation expense related to this deferred compensation program was $894 and $992 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Compensation expense related to Service-based Awards, excluding compensation expense related to the amortization of LP Units, was $22,244 and $20,593 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Compensation expense related to the amortization of these LP Units was $5,610 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Compensation expense related to acquisition-related Awards and deferred cash consideration was $2,241 and $932, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and $3,608 and $1,049, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
	During the third quarter of 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Long-term Incentive Plan, which provides for incentive compensation awards to Advisory Senior Managing Directors, excluding executive officers of the Company, who exceed defined benchmark results over a four-year performance period beginning January 1, 2013. These awards will be paid, in cash or Class A Shares, at the Company's discretion, in the two years following the performance period, to Senior Managing Directors employed by the Company at the time of payment. These awards are subject to retirement eligibility requirements. The Company periodically assesses the probability of the benchmarks being achieved and expenses the probable payout over the requisite service period of the award.
	Periodically, the Company provides new and existing employees with cash payments in the form of loans and/or other cash awards which are subject to ratable vesting terms with service requirements ranging from one to five years. Generally, the terms of these awards include a requirement of either full or partial repayment of these awards based on the terms of their employment agreements with the Company. In circumstances where the employee meets the Company's minimum credit standards, the Company amortizes these awards to compensation expense over the relevant service period which is generally the period they are subject to forfeiture. Compensation expense related to these awards was $2,647 and $1,667 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The remaining unamortized amount of these awards was $13,378 as of March 31, 2014.

	Commitments and Contingencies
	For a complete discussion of the Company’s commitments, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Operating Leases – The Company leases office space under non-cancelable lease agreements, which expire on various dates through 2023. The Company reflects lease expense over the lease terms on a straight-line basis. Occupancy lease agreements, in addition to base rentals, generally are subject to escalation provisions based on certain costs incurred by the landlord. Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes occupancy rental expense relating to operating leases of $6,384 and $5,910 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	During the first quarter of 2014, the Company entered into lease agreements which expire on various dates through 2023 with annual base rental payments of approximately $2,000.
	Other Commitments – As of March 31, 2014, the Company has unfunded commitments for capital contributions of $9,880 to private equity funds. These commitments will be funded as required through the end of each private equity fund’s investment period, subject to certain conditions. Such commitments are satisfied in cash and are generally required to be made as investment opportunities are consummated by the private equity funds.
	The Company also has additional commitments related to its redeemable noncontrolling interests. See Note 12 for further information.
	In addition, the Company enters into commitments to pay contingent consideration related to certain of its acquisitions. At March 31, 2014, the Company had one remaining commitment for contingent consideration, related to its acquisition of Protego in 2006. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company is obligated to pay the partners that sold Protego 90% of the return proceeds and performance fees received from Protego's investment in the general partner of the Discovery Fund. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company received a distribution from Discovery Americas Associated L.P., the general partner of the Discovery Fund. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2014, the Company recorded Goodwill of $817 pursuant to this agreement. The carrying value of the Company's investment in the Discovery Fund is $3,222 at March 31, 2014. See Note 8 for further information.
	In 2013, Evercore Partners Services East L.L.C. ("East"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, obtained a line of credit from First Republic Bank in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25,000, to be used for working capital and other corporate activities.  This facility is secured by (i) cash and cash equivalents of East held in a designated account with First Republic Bank, (ii) certain of East's intercompany receivables and (iii) third party accounts receivable of EGL. Drawings under the facility bear interest at the prime rate. The facility matures on June 27, 2014, and may be renewed or extended. The Company drew down $25,000 on this facility on April 22, 2014.
	In April 2014, the Company entered into a commitment to purchase 3 units, or 22%, of the aggregate amount of the outstanding EWM Class A units held by members of EWM for Class A Shares and LP Units of the Company, for a fair value of $7,100. This transaction is expected to settle in May 2014 and will increase the Company's ownership in EWM to 62% immediately following this transaction.
	Contingencies
	In the normal course of business, from time to time the Company and its affiliates are involved in judicial or regulatory proceedings, arbitration or mediation concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses, including contractual and employment matters. In addition, Mexican, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Canadian and United States government agencies and self-regulatory organizations, as well as state securities commissions in the United States, conduct periodic examinations and initiate administrative proceedings regarding the Company’s business, including, among other matters, accounting and operational matters, that can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, investment advisor, or its directors, officers or employees. In view of the inherent difficulty of determining whether any loss in connection with such matters is probable and whether the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot estimate the amount of such loss or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, might be. Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that it is not currently party to any material pending proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, the resolution of which would have a material effect on the Company. Provisions for losses are established in accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies” when warranted. Once established, such provisions are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.

The effective tax rate was 36% and 45% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2014 and 2013 reflects the effect of certain nondeductible expenses, including the vesting of LP Units in 2013, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units and other adjustments.

	The Company classifies interest relating to tax matters and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits, the Company recognized $17 of interest and penalties during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The December 31, 2013 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP’s wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. (“EGL”), a registered broker-dealer in the U.S. The Company’s policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE, except for certain VIEs that qualify for accounting purposes as investment companies. The Company reviews factors, including the rights of the equity holders and obligations of equity holders to absorb losses or receive expected residual returns, to determine if the investment is a VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly or indirectly by the Company. The consolidation analysis is generally performed qualitatively. This analysis, which requires judgment, is performed at each reporting date.
	In February 2010, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-10, “Amendments for Certain Investment Funds”, was issued. This ASU defers the application of the revised consolidation rules for a reporting entity’s interest in an entity if certain conditions are met, including if the entity has the attributes of an investment company and is not a securitization or asset-backed financing entity. An entity that qualifies for the deferral will continue to be assessed for consolidation under the overall guidance on VIEs, before its amendment, and other applicable consolidation guidance. Generally, the Company would consolidate those entities when it absorbs a majority of the expected losses or a majority of the expected residual returns, or both, of the entities.
	For entities (principally funds) that the Company has concluded are not VIEs, the Company then evaluates whether the fund is a partnership or similar entity. If the fund is a partnership or similar entity, the Company evaluates the fund under the partnership consolidation guidance. Pursuant to that guidance, the Company consolidates funds in which it is the general partner and/or manages through a contract, unless presumption of control by the Company can be overcome. This presumption is overcome only when unrelated investors in the fund have the substantive ability to liquidate the fund or otherwise remove the Company as the general partner without cause, based on a simple majority vote of unaffiliated investors, or have other substantive participating rights. If the presumption of control can be overcome, the Company accounts for its interest in the fund pursuant to the equity method of accounting.
	All intercompany balances and transactions with the Company’s subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

	Diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders	$	0.25	$	0.16
	(a)	The Company has outstanding LP Units in its subsidiary, Evercore LP, which give the holders the right to receive Class A Shares upon exchange on a one for one basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the LP Units were antidilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders. The units that would have been included in the denominator of the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 5,085 and 6,799 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The adjustment to the numerator, Diluted net income attributable to Class A common shareholders, if the effect would have been dilutive, would have been $1,589 and $1,247 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all vested LP Units, and all unvested LP Units after applying the treasury stock method, are converted into Class A Shares, that all earnings attributable to those shares are attributed to Evercore Partners Inc. and, that it has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C Corporation in the U.S. at prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not anticipate that the LP Units will result in a dilutive computation in future periods.

[1]	The Company has outstanding LP Units in its subsidiary, Evercore LP, which give the holders the right to receive Class A Shares upon exchange on a one for one basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the LP Units were antidilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into ClassB A Shares has been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders. The units that would have been included in the denominator of the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 5,085 and 6,799 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The adjustment to the numerator, Diluted net income attributable to Class A common shareholders, if the effect would have been dilutive, would have been $1,589 and $1,247 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all vested LP Units, and all unvested LP Units after applying the treasury stock method, are converted into Class A Shares, that all earnings attributable to those shares are attributed to Evercore Partners Inc. and, that it has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C Corporation in the U.S. at prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not anticipate that the LP Units will result in a dilutive computation in future periods.
