	Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
	The 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”) and International Strategy & Investment Group L.L.C. ("ISI L.L.C."), registered broker-dealers 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. The Consolidated Statements of Operations include the consolidated results of International Strategy & Investment ("ISI") following its acquisition in 2014. See Note 4 for further disclosure.
	At the time of the formation transaction, the members of Evercore LP (the “Members”) received Class A limited partnership units of Evercore LP (“Class A LP Units”) in consideration for their contribution of the various entities included in the historical combined financial statements of the Company. The Class A LP Units were subject to vesting requirements and transfer restrictions and are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock (“Class A Shares”). At December 31, 2013, all Class A LP Units were fully vested. On October 31, 2014, in conjunction with the acquisition of the operating businesses of ISI, the Company issued vested and unvested Class E limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class E LP Units") and vested and unvested Class G and H limited partnership interests of Evercore LP ("Class G and H Interests"). See Note 4 for further information. The Company accounts for exchanges of LP Units for Class A Shares based on the carrying amounts of the Members’ LP Units immediately before the exchange.
	The Company’s interest in Evercore LP is within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-20, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights”. The Company consolidates Evercore LP and records noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in Evercore LP held directly by others, which includes the Members.
	Accounts Receivable – Accounts Receivable consists primarily of investment banking fees and expense reimbursements charged to the Company’s clients. The Company records Accounts Receivable net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for bad debts to provide coverage for estimated losses from its client receivables. The Company determines the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on the Company’s analysis of the client’s creditworthiness and specifically reserves against exposure where the Company determines the receivables are impaired, which may include situations where a fee is in dispute or litigation has commenced.
	Furniture, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements – Fixed assets, including office equipment, hardware and software and leasehold improvements, are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Furniture, equipment and computer hardware and software are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life of the asset.
	Investment Banking Revenue – The Company earns investment banking fees from clients for providing advisory services on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, leveraged buyouts, restructurings and similar corporate finance matters. The Company’s Investment Banking services also include services related to securities underwriting, private fund placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. It is the Company’s accounting policy to recognize revenue when (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement with a client, (ii) fees are fixed or determinable, (iii) the agreed-upon services have been completed and delivered to the client or the transaction or events contemplated in the engagement letter are determined to be substantially completed and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. The Company records Investment Banking Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the following:
	Advisory Fees – In general, advisory fees are paid at the time the Company signs an engagement letter, during the course of the engagement or when an engagement is completed. In some circumstances, and as a function of the terms of an engagement letter, the Company may receive retainer fees for financial advisory services concurrent with, or soon after, the execution of the engagement letter where the engagement letter will specify a future service period associated with that fee. In such circumstances, these retainer fees are initially recorded as deferred revenue, which is recorded in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and subsequently recognized as revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the applicable time period within which the service is rendered. Revenues related to fairness or valuation opinions are recognized when the opinion has been rendered and delivered to the client and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied. Success fees for advisory services, such as merger and acquisition advice, are recognized when the transaction(s) or event(s) are determined to be completed or substantially completed and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied. In the event the Company were to receive an opinion or success fee in advance of the completion conditions noted above, such fee would initially be recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently recognized as advisory fee revenue when the conditions of completion have been satisfied.
	Placement Fees – Placement fee revenues are attributable to capital raising on both a primary and secondary basis. The Company recognizes placement advisory fees at the time of the client’s acceptance of capital or capital commitments in accordance with the terms of the engagement letter.
	Underwriting Fees – Underwriting fees are attributable to public and private offerings of equity and debt securities and are recognized when the offering has been deemed to be completed by the lead manager of the underwriting group. When the offering is completed, the Company recognizes the applicable management fee, selling concession and underwriting fee, the latter net of estimated offering expenses.
	Commissions and Related Fees – Commissions and Related Fees include commissions received from customers for the execution of agency-based brokerage transactions in listed and over-the-counter equities and are recorded on a trade-date basis or, in the case of payments under commission sharing arrangements, when earned. The Company earns subscription fees for the sales of research. Cash received before the subscription period ends is initially recorded as deferred revenue in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and is recognized in Investment Banking Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related services are rendered.
	Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Investment Management Revenue – The Company’s Investment Management business generates revenues from the management of client assets and the private equity funds.
	Investment management fees for third-party clients are generally based on the value of the assets under management and any performance fees that may be negotiated with the client. These fees are generally recognized over the period that the related services are provided, based upon the beginning, ending or average value of the assets for the relevant period. Fees paid in advance of services rendered are initially recorded as deferred revenue, which is recorded in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and are recognized in Investment Management Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related service is rendered. Generally, to the extent performance fee arrangements have been negotiated, these fees are earned when the return on assets exceeds certain benchmark returns.
	Management fees for private equity funds are contractual and are typically based on committed capital during the private equity funds’ investment period, and on invested capital, thereafter. Management fees are recognized ratably over the period during which services are provided. The management fees may provide for a management fee offset for certain portfolio company fees the Company earns. The Company also records performance fee revenue from the private equity funds when the returns on the private equity funds’ investments exceed certain threshold minimums. These performance fees, or carried interest, are computed in accordance with the underlying private equity funds’ partnership agreements and are based on investment performance over the life of each investment partnership. Historically, the Company recorded performance fee revenue from its managed private equity funds when the private equity funds’ investment values exceeded certain threshold minimums. During 2014, the Company changed its method of recording performance fees such that the Company records performance fees upon the earlier of the termination of the investment fund or when the likelihood of clawback is mathematically improbable. This method is considered the more preferable of the two methods accepted under ASC 605-20-S99-1. This change in accounting policy had no effect on the prior period information included on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, or the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	Fees generated for serving as an independent fiduciary and/or trustee are either based on a flat fee, are pre-negotiated with the client or are based on the value of assets under administration. For ongoing engagements, fees are billed quarterly either in advance or in arrears. Fees paid in advance of services rendered are initially recorded as deferred revenue in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and are recognized in Investment Management Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related services are rendered.
	Other Revenue, Including Interest and Interest Expense – Other Revenue, Including Interest and Interest Expense is derived primarily from financing transactions. These transactions are principally repurchases and resales of Mexican government securities. Revenue and expenses associated with these transactions are recognized over the term of the repurchase transaction. Other Revenue, Including Interest and Interest Expense also includes interest expense associated with the $120,000 principal amount of senior unsecured notes (“Senior Notes”) and other financing arrangements, as well as income earned on marketable securities and cash deposited with financial institutions and changes in amounts due pursuant to the Company's tax receivable agreements.
	Client Expense Reimbursement – In the conduct of its financial advisory service engagements and in advising the private equity funds, the Company receives reimbursement for certain expenses incurred by the Company on behalf of its clients and the funds. Transaction-related expenses, which are billable to clients, are recognized as revenue and recorded in Accounts Receivable on the later of the date of an executed engagement letter or the date the expense is incurred.
	Noncontrolling Interest – Noncontrolling interest recorded in the consolidated financial statements of the Company relates to the portions of the subsidiaries not owned by the Company. The Company allocates net income to noncontrolling interests held at Evercore LP and at the operating entity level, where required, by multiplying the relative ownership interest of the noncontrolling interest holders for the period by the net income or loss for the entity which the noncontrolling interest relates. In circumstances where the governing documents of the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates require special allocations of profits (losses) to the controlling and noncontrolling interest holders, then the net income or loss of these entities will be allocated based on these special allocations.
	ASC 810, “Consolidation" (“ASC 810”) requires reporting entities to present noncontrolling (minority) interests as equity (as opposed to as a liability or mezzanine equity) and provides guidance on the accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling Interest is presented as a component of Total Equity on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and below Net Income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, there is an allocation of the components of Total Comprehensive Income between controlling interests and noncontrolling interests for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. Changes in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains control of its subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of short-term highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The majority of the Company’s assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value or at amounts that approximate fair value. Such assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, investments, marketable securities, financial instruments owned and pledged as collateral, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, receivables and payables and accruals. See Note 10 for further information.
	Marketable Securities – Marketable Securities include investments in corporate, municipal and other debt securities, as well as investments in readily-marketable equity securities, which are accounted for as available-for-sale under ASC 320-10, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”. These securities are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as net increases or decreases to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), net of tax, while realized gains and losses on these securities are determined using the specific identification method and are included in Other Revenue, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The readily-marketable debt and equity securities are valued using quoted market prices on applicable exchanges or markets. Marketable Securities also include investments in municipal bonds held at EGL and mutual funds, which are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in Other Revenues, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Marketable Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date.
	Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value – The Company’s Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value consist principally of foreign government obligations, which are recorded on a trade-date basis and are stated at quoted market values. Related gains and losses are reflected in Other Revenue, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company pledges the Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value to collateralize certain financing arrangements, which permits the counterparty to pledge the securities.
	Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase – Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase are treated as collateralized financing transactions. The agreements provide that the transferor will receive substantially the same securities in return at the maturity of the agreement. These transactions are carried at the amounts at which the related securities will be subsequently resold or repurchased, plus accrued interest payable or receivable. As the maturities on these transactions are short-term in nature (i.e. generally mature on the next business day) and the underlying securities are debt instruments of the Mexican Governments or its agencies, their carrying amounts approximate fair value. The Company periodically assesses the collectability or credit quality related to securities purchased under agreements to resell.
	Investments – The Company’s investments include investments in private equity partnerships, the Company’s equity interests in G5 ǀ Evercore, ABS Investment Management, LLC (“ABS”) and Evercore Pan-Asset Capital Management (“Pan”, consolidated on March 15, 2013 and sold on December 3, 2013), which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and Trilantic Capital Partners ("Trilantic").
	Private Equity – The investments of private equity funds consist primarily of investments in marketable and non-marketable securities of the portfolio companies. The underlying investments held by the private equity funds are valued based on quoted market prices or estimated fair value if there is no public market. The Company determines fair value of non-marketable securities by giving consideration to a range of factors, including but not limited to, market conditions, operating performance (current and projected) and subsequent financing transactions. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation of these non-marketable securities, estimated values may materially differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for these investments. Investments in publicly-traded securities held by the private equity funds are valued using quoted market prices. The Company recognizes its allocable share of the changes in fair value of the private equity funds’ underlying investments as realized and unrealized gains (losses) within Investment Management Revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Affiliates – The Company’s equity interests in G5 ǀ Evercore, ABS and Pan (consolidated on March 15, 2013 and sold on December 3, 2013) include its share of the income (losses) within Income (Loss) from Equity Method Investments, as a component of Income Before Income Taxes, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	The Company assesses its Equity Method Investments annually for impairment, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.
	The Company also maintains an investment in Trilantic. See Note 9 for further information.
	Goodwill and Intangible Assets – Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, as of November 30th, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The Company assesses whether any goodwill recorded by its applicable reporting unit is impaired by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its respective carrying amount. For acquired businesses, contingent consideration is recognized and measured at fair value as of the acquisition date and at subsequent reporting periods.
	Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable as prescribed by ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” ("ASC 360").
	The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. In determining the fair value for each reporting unit the Company utilizes either a market multiple approach or a discounted cash flow methodology based on the adjusted cash flows from operations, or a weighted combination of both a market multiple approach and discounted cash flow methodology. The market multiple approach includes applying the average earnings multiples of comparable public companies for their respective reporting unit multiplied by the forecasted earnings of the respective reporting unit to yield an estimate of fair value. The discounted cash flow methodology begins with the forecasted adjusted cash flows from each of the reporting units and uses a discount rate that reflects the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the risks inherent in the future cash flows.
	See Note 4 for further information.
	Compensation and Benefits – Compensation includes salaries, bonuses (discretionary awards and guaranteed amounts), severance, deferred cash and share-based compensation. Cash bonuses are accrued over the respective service periods to which they relate and deferred cash and share-based bonuses are expensed prospectively over their requisite service period.
	Share-Based Payments –The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). See Note 17 for further information.
	Compensation expense recognized pursuant to share-based awards is based on the grant date fair value of the award. The fair value (as measured on the grant date) of awards that vest from one to five years (“Service-based Awards”) is amortized over the vesting periods or requisite service periods as required under ASC 718, however, the vesting of some Service-based Awards will accelerate upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company amortizes the grant-date fair value of share-based compensation awards made to employees, who are or will become retirement eligible prior to the stated vesting date, over the expected substantive service period. For the purposes of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders, unvested Service-based Awards are included in the diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. Once vested, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and restricted stock are included in the basic and diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding. Expense relating to RSUs and restricted stock is charged to Employee Compensation and Benefits within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Compensation expense is recognized pursuant to performance-based awards if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. See Note 17 for a discussion of the awards issued in conjunction with the Company's acquisition of the operating businesses of ISI.
	Awards classified as liabilities as required under ASC 718, such as cash settled share-based awards, are re-measured at fair value at each reporting period.
	Foreign Currency Translation – Foreign currency assets and liabilities have been translated at rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the periods presented. Income and expenses transacted in foreign currency have been translated at average monthly exchange rates during the period. Translation gains and losses are included in the foreign currency translation adjustment as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Exchange gains and losses arising from translating intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature are recorded in the foreign currency translation account while transactional exchange gains and losses are included in Other Revenue, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Income Taxes –The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of its assets and liabilities, as disclosed in Note 20.
	Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse. Such temporary differences are reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s net deferred tax assets.
	ASC 740 provides a benefit recognition model with a two-step approach consisting of “more-likely-than-not” recognition criteria, and a measurement attribute that measures the position as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also requires the recognition of liabilities created by differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements. See Note 20 for further information.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	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 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 740, 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”).

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.
	ASU 2014-09 – In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 provides amendments to ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”, and creates ASC No. 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which changes the requirements for revenue recognition and amends the disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update are effective either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption, during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption not 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.
	ASU 2014-11 – In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11, “Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures” (“ASU 2014-11”). ASU 2014-11 provides amendments to ASC No. 806, “Transfers and Servicing”, which expand secured borrowing accounting for certain repurchase agreements and require that in a repurchase financing arrangement the repurchase agreement be accounted for separately from the initial transfer of the financial asset. The amendments also require additional disclosures for certain transactions accounted for as sale and repurchase agreements, and for securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The amendments in this update for the additional disclosures for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions accounted for as secured borrowings are effective prospectively during annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015, and all other amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption not 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.

ASU 2014-12 provides amendments to ASC No. 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”, which clarify the guidance for whether to treat a performance target that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition that affects vesting or as a nonvesting condition that affects the grant-date fair value of an award. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The amendments in this update are effective either prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter, during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted.

The amendments in this update were effective on November 18, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2014-17 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.
	ASU 2015-01 – In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, “Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items” (“ASU 2015-01”).

The amendments in this update are effective either prospectively or retrospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, 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.
	ASU 2015-02 - In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (“ASU 2015-02”).

Provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Changes and Developments	Business Changes and Developments
	International Strategy & Investment - On October 31, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of the operating businesses of ISI, a leading independent research-driven equity sales and agency trading firm, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the Company's Institutional Equities business that it did not already own. Following the closing of the transactions, the Company combined ISI's business with the Company's existing Institutional Equities business within the Investment Banking segment.  See below for a discussion of the Company's acquisition of the portion of the Company's Institutional Equities business that it did not already own.
	The Company's acquisition of ISI had a purchase price of $90,234. The terms of the Company’s acquisition included consideration in the form of noncontrolling interests, specifically partnership interests of Evercore LP, of which a value of $62,614 was reflected in the purchase price of the acquisition. This consideration included 947 Class E LP Units that were vested and exchangeable into Class A common shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis and an allocation of the value, attributed to pre-combination service, of 710 Class E LP Units that were unvested and will vest ratably on October 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017 and become exchangeable once vested, subject to continued employment with the Company. The purchase price of the acquisition also included the Company's assumption of a subordinated borrowing arrangement with a value of $22,550 and other long-term liabilities with a value of $5,070.
	A portion of the consideration issued by the Company was Evercore LP interests which will be treated as compensation going forward, including 710 Class E LP Units, an allocation of the value, attributed to post-combination service, of an additional 710 Class E LP Units, as well as 1,078 Class G LP Interests and 4,095 Class H LP Interests. Certain of these units/interests are vested and are subject to clawback and/or forfeiture pursuant to liquidated damages provisions and, in the case of Class G and H LP Interests, the achievement of certain earnings and operating margin targets. In addition, unvested units/interests are subject to continued employment and, in the case of Class G and H LP Interests, the achievement of certain earnings and operating margin targets. See Note 17 for further information.
	In conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of the operating businesses of ISI, the Company purchased, at fair value, the noncontrolling interest in the Company's Institutional Equities business that it did not already own. The Company purchased these interests, for cash of $11,086, from employees who were exiting the Institutional Equities business. The sellers of the Institutional Equities business, who did not receive cash, received 199 vested and 17 unvested Class E Units that are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into Class A common stock of the Company subject to timing and other limitations, and 57 vested Class G Interests and 217 vested Class H Interests in Evercore LP. These interests will become exchangeable into Class A common shares of the Company subject to certain performance requirements that are similar to the interests issued to the sellers of ISI.
	This transaction resulted in the Company recognizing goodwill of $29,638 and intangible assets of $47,320, recognized in the Investment Banking Segment. The intangible assets include client relationships, trade names and favorable leases with values of $40,000, $2,000 and $5,320, respectively, which are being amortized over estimated useful lives of 5 years, 3 years and 7 years, respectively. The Company recognized $1,571 of amortization expense related to these intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2014.
	Other Acquisitions - During the third quarter of 2014, the Company acquired a 100% interest in a boutique advisory business for $6,900.  The Company’s consideration for this transaction included the issuance of 72 Class A LP units at closing and contingent consideration. The contingent consideration has a fair value of $3,391 and will be settled in the first quarter of 2017, based on the business meeting certain performance targets.  This transaction resulted in the Company recognizing goodwill of $3,401 and intangible assets relating to advisory backlog and client relationships of $2,450 and $1,050, respectively, recognized in the Investment Banking Segment. The intangible assets are being amortized over estimated useful lives of two years. The Company recognized $877 of amortization expense related to these intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2014.
	Pan and Discontinued Operations - In 2008, the Company made an equity method investment of $4,158 in Pan. This investment resulted in earnings (losses) of ($55) and $90 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, included within Income from Equity Method Investments on the 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 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.
	During the third quarter of 2013, as part of an ongoing strategic initiative, the Company determined that Pan met the initial criteria to be classified as Held for Sale, which resulted in the Company reporting separately the assets and liabilities of Pan on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The Company further determined that Pan met the criteria to be classified within Discontinued Operations. The sale transaction closed on December 3, 2013. Based on the estimated fair value of Pan, the Company recorded a pretax loss of ($2,718) within Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. Further, discontinued operations includes revenues and pretax gains (losses) from Pan of $989 and ($1,542), respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Private Capital Advisory - During 2013, the Company expanded its global investment banking platform by establishing a private capital advisory business, focused on secondary transactions for private funds interests. In conjunction with the expansion, the Company formed Evercore Private Capital Advisory L.P. ("PCA"). The Company owns 69% of the common equity interest in PCA, with the remaining 31% owned by employees engaged in PCA's business. The Company is the general partner of PCA. The Company performed an assessment under ASC 810, and concluded that PCA is a VIE and determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE. Specifically, the Company's general partner interest provides the Company with the ability to make decisions that significantly impact the economic performance of PCA, while the limited partners do not possess substantive participating rights over PCA. The Company's assessment of the primary beneficiary included assessing which parties have the power to significantly impact the economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses, which could be potentially significant to the entity, or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could be potentially significant. The assets of PCA are not generally available to the Company and the liabilities are generally non-recourse to the Company.

	The Company concluded that there was no impairment of Goodwill or Intangible Assets related to its reporting units during the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company recorded impairment charges of $2,888 for Goodwill and Intangible Assets during the year ended December 31, 2013. During December 2013, the founder and key member of management of Morse, Williams and Company, Inc. left the Company pursuant to a separation agreement, which among other provisions, allowed him to solicit a limited number of former clients without violating his post-employment restrictive covenant agreements. As a result, the Company experienced an outflow of client assets, and the Company performed a Step 1 impairment assessment under ASC 360 for the identifiable intangible assets that the Company recorded related to Client Relationships from the acquisition of Morse, Williams and Company, Inc., which were recognized in the Investment Management segment. The Company determined that the recoverability of the intangible assets would not be achieved and recorded an impairment charge of $170 within Special Charges on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. Further, during 2013, the Company sold its interest in Pan, resulting in an impairment charge related to goodwill of $2,718 within Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. See "Pan and Discontinued Operations" above for further information.

Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase	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 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 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 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 had an estimated average time to maturity of approximately 1.4 years, as of December 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 December 31, 2014 and 2013, a summary of the Company’s assets, liabilities and collateral received or pledged related to these transactions was as follows:

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Investments	Investments
	The Company’s investments reported on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition consist of investments in private equity partnerships, 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, which are voting interest entities. The Company's investment in Pan became a VIE and was subsequently sold in December 2013. The Company’s share of earnings (losses) on its 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 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.
	On December 31, 2014, ECP II was terminated. The Company's investment at December 31, 2014 of $4,043 is comprised of remaining interest in the general partner, including $3,787 in cash ($3,000 of which was received by the Company in January 2015), $78 in cash escrow balances, $67 in a seller note and $111 in securities.
	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 December 31, 2014, unfunded commitments of EMP III were $4,691, including $436 due from the Company.
	A summary of the Company’s investment in the private equity funds as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was as follows:
		December 31,
		2014		2013
	ECP II	$	4,043	$	3,251
	Discovery Fund	2,867		5,015
	EMCP II	12,630		11,125
	EMCP III	7,272		3,852
	CSI Capital	3,030		3,248
	Trilantic IV	3,798		4,356
	Trilantic V	2,911		1,532
	Total Private Equity Funds	$	36,551	$	32,379
	Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on private equity fund investments were $7,858, $8,060 and ($206) for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In the event the funds perform poorly, the Company may be obligated to repay certain carried interest previously distributed. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had no 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. 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 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, "Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51," 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 $7,327 and liabilities of $75 at December 31, 2014 and assets of $4,287 and liabilities of $32 at December 31, 2013, in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. 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 Class A 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 2014, $689 of this investment was allocated to Trilantic Fund V. 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 $13,455 and $14,145 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company has a $5,000 commitment to invest in Trilantic Fund V, of which $3,574 was unfunded at December 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.

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 December 31, 2014 and 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 December 31, 2014 and 2013:
		31-Dec-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 years ended December 31, 2014 or 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 Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, are listed in the tables below.

	The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities:
	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 amount reported on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition for Subordinated Borrowings approximates fair value as of December 31, 2014.
	The carrying amounts reported on the 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.

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 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. Senior Notes held by Mizuho will be redeemable at the Accreted Amount at the option of the Company at any time within 90 days following the date on which Mizuho notifies the Company that it is terminating their strategic alliance agreement (“Strategic Alliance Agreement”). Senior Notes held by any other holder than Mizuho will be redeemable at the Accreted Amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest) at the option of the Company at any time. In the event of a default under the indenture, the trustee or holders of 33 1/3% of the Senior Notes may declare that the Accreted Amount is immediately due and payable.

	Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest related to Pan from Discontinued Operations was ($1,185) for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Other comprehensive income (loss) attributed to Noncontrolling Interest includes Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities and Investments, net, of ($981), ($180) and $117 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), net, of ($1,627), ($48) and $1,152 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	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 $4,014 and $4,283 within Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Changes in the fair value of these redeemable noncontrolling interests resulted in an increase (decrease) to Additional Paid-in Capital of $269 and ($286) for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	On May 22, 2014, the Company purchased 3 units, or 22%, of the aggregate amount of the outstanding EWM Class A units held by members of EWM for 119 Class A Shares and 11 Class A LP Units of the Company, at a fair value of $7,100. This transaction resulted in an increase in the Company's ownership in EWM to 62%. In conjunction with this purchase, the Company amended the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of EWM. Per the amended agreement, the holders of certain EWM interests no longer have the option to redeem these capital interests for cash upon the event of the death or disability of the holder. Accordingly, the value of these interests had been reclassified from Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest to Noncontrolling Interest on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2014. The above transactions had the effect of reducing Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest and Treasury Stock by $34,577 and $3,856, respectively, and increasing Noncontrolling Interest and Additional Paid-in Capital by $27,477 and $3,244, respectively, at June 30, 2014. These interests were previously reflected at their fair value of $32,523 within Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at December 31, 2013. Changes in the fair value of these redeemable noncontrolling interested resulted in a decrease to Additional Paid-in Capital of $4,116 and $3,123 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	As discussed in Note 4, the value of the Class E LP Units exchanged as consideration for the Company's acquisition of the operating businesses of ISI, as well as the value of Class E LP Units exchanged for the interest in its Institutional Equities business it did not own, resulted in an increase to Noncontrolling Interest of $68,835 as of December 31, 2014. Further, the purchase of the remaining noncontrolling interest in the Institutional Equities business, including the portion exchanged for cash, resulted in a reduction of Additional Paid-in Capital of $17,307 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Further, as discussed in Note 4, the Company's acquisition of a small advisory boutique firm resulted in an increase in Noncontrolling Interest of $3,509 as of December 31, 2014.
	In addition, Noncontrolling Interest was reduced and Additional Paid-in Capital was increased by the net effect of $1,124 as of December 31, 2014, reflecting other adjustments resulting from changes in ownership in the Company's subsidiaries.
	During 2013, the Company had an issuance of noncontrolling interest related to EMP III. See Note 9 for further information.
	During 2013, the Company purchased, at fair value, all of the noncontrolling interest in ETC for $7,890. This purchase was settled on July 19, 2013. The purchase of this noncontrolling interest resulted in a decrease to Additional Paid-in Capital of $3,362 for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	In February 2010, Evercore LP issued 500 Class A LP Units to Trilantic. The original terms were such that at December 31, 2014, at the option of the holder, these Class A 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 $68 and $84 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In October of 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company agreed to release the transfer restrictions associated with these Class A LP Units and the holders of these units exchanged them into Class A Shares. See Note 14 for a further discussion of exchanges of LP Units for Class A Shares of the Company.

	(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 years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, 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 5,161, 6,433 and 8,695 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, 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 $12,912, $12,804 and $8,135 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all vested Class A LP Units and all Class E LP Units are converted into Class A Shares, all unvested Class A LP Units (as of December 31, 2013 all Class A LP Units were fully vested) 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.
	(b)	At December 31, 2014, the Company has outstanding Evercore LP G and H Interests which are contingently exchangeable into Class A shares, subject to certain performance thresholds being achieved. See Note 17 for a further discussion. For the purposes of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders, the Company’s Class G and H LP Interests will be included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding as of the beginning of the period in which all necessary performance conditions have been satisfied. If all necessary performance conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of shares that will be included in diluted weighted average Class A shares outstanding will be based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the performance period. For the year ended December 31, 2014, none of these interests were assumed to be converted for purposes of computing diluted EPS.
	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.

	LP Units
	Class A
	At the time of the Company’s formation and IPO, collectively referred to as the reorganization (“Reorganization”), Members and certain trusts benefiting certain of their families received 13,548 vested and 9,589 unvested Class A LP Units. The Class A LP Units are exchangeable into Class A Shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis once vested.
	The unvested Class A LP Units vested ratably on December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 so long as the equity holder remained employed with Evercore Partners Inc., Evercore LP or their affiliates on such dates. The Class A LP Units were all fully vested as of December 31, 2013. The Company expensed the fair value of the awards, prospectively, over the service period. Expense related to the amortization of these Class A LP Units was $20,063 and $20,971 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Acquisition-related
	Equities business - In conjunction with the acquisition of the operating businesses of ISI, the Company issued Evercore LP interests which will be treated as compensation going forward, including 710 vested Class E LP Units and an allocation of the value, attributed to post-combination service, of 710 Class E LP Units that were unvested and will vest ratably on October 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017 and become exchangeable once vested, subject to continued employment with the Company. The units will become exchangeable into Class A common shares of the Company subject to certain liquidated damages and continued employment provisions.
	The Company also issued 538 vested and 540 unvested Class G LP Interests, which will vest ratably on February 15, 2016, 2017 and 2018, and 2,044 vested and 2,051 unvested Class H LP Interests, which will vest ratably on February 15, 2018, 2019 and 2020. The Company’s vested Class G and Class H LP Interests will become exchangeable into Class A common shares of the Company subject to the achievement of certain performance targets. The Company’s vested Class G Interests will become exchangeable in February 2016, 2017 and 2018 if certain earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) margin thresholds are achieved for the calendar year preceding the date the interests become exchangeable. The Company’s vested Class H Interests will become exchangeable February 2018, 2019 and 2020 if certain average EBIT and EBIT margin thresholds are achieved for the three calendar years preceding the date the interests become exchangeable.
	As of December 31, 2014, the Company determined that the achievement of the above performance thresholds associated with the Class G and H Interests was not probable. Accordingly, no expense was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2014 for the Class G and H Interests.
	The following tables summarize activity related to the Acquisition-related Awards for the Company's equities business during the year ended December 31, 2014. In these tables, awards whose performance conditions have not yet been achieved are reflected as unvested:

	2006 Stock Incentive Plan
	In 2006 the Company’s stockholders and board of directors adopted the Evercore Partners Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan permits the Company to grant to key employees, directors and consultants incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs and other awards based on the Company’s Class A Shares. The total number of Class A Shares which may be issued under the 2006 Plan is 20,000 and the Company intends to use newly-issued Class A Shares to satisfy any awards under the 2006 Plan. Class A Shares underlying any award granted under the 2006 Plan that expire, terminate or are canceled or satisfied for any reason without being settled in stock again become available for awards under the 2006 Plan. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company's stockholders approved the amended and restated 2006 Evercore Partners Inc. Stock Incentive Plan. The amended and restated plan, among other things, authorizes an additional 5,000 shares of the Company's Class A Shares. The total shares available to be granted in the future under the 2006 Plan were 5,392 and 7,323 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	The Company also grants dividend equivalents, in the form of unvested RSU awards, concurrently with the payment of dividends to the holders of Class A Shares, on all unvested RSU grants awarded in conjunction with annual bonuses as well as new hire awards granted after April 2012. The dividend equivalents have the same vesting and delivery terms as the underlying RSU award.
	The Company had 224 RSUs which were fully vested but not delivered as of December 31, 2014.
	Deferred Cash Program
	During the first quarter of 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. The Company awarded deferred cash compensation of $3,926 and $9,153, during the first quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively, which will vest ratably over four years and require payment upon vesting. Compensation expense related to this deferred compensation program was $3,683, $3,804 and $4,210 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, the total compensation cost related to the deferred compensation program not yet recognized was $949. The weighted-average period over which this compensation cost is expected to be recognized is 3 months.
	Long-term Incentive Plan
	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. The compensation expense related to these awards was $5,700 and $1,584 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Equity Grants
	2014 Equity Grants. During 2014, pursuant to the 2006 Plan, the Company granted employees 2,071 RSUs that are Service-based Awards. Service-based Awards granted during 2014 had grant date fair values of $46.59 to $58.67 per share. During 2014, 3,245 Service-based Awards vested and 158 Service-based Awards were forfeited. Compensation expense related to Service-based Awards was $90,597 for the year ended December 31, 2014.
	The following table summarizes activity related to Service-based Awards during the year ended December 31, 2014:
		Service-based Awards
		Number of Shares		Grant Date Weighted
				Average Fair Value
	Unvested Balance at January 1, 2014	6,680		$	181,602
	Granted	2,071		111,766
	Modified	—		—
	Forfeited	(158	)	(5,596		)
	Vested	(3,245	)	(79,140		)
	Unvested Balance at December 31, 2014	5,348		$	208,632
As of December 31, 2014, the total compensation cost related to unvested Service-based Awards, excluding Acquisition-related Awards, not yet recognized was $121,771. The ultimate amount of such expense is dependent upon the actual number of Service-based Awards that vest. The Company periodically assesses the forfeiture rates used for such estimates. A change in estimated forfeiture rates would cause the aggregate amount of compensation expense recognized in future periods to differ from the estimated unrecognized compensation expense described herein. The weighted-average period over which this compensation cost is expected to be recognized is 13 months.
2013 Equity Grants. During 2013, pursuant to the 2006 Plan, the Company granted employees 2,398 RSUs that are Service-based Awards. Service-based Awards granted during 2013 had grant date fair values of $26.60 to $55.24 per share. During 2013, 2,188 Service-based Awards vested and 60 Service-based Awards were forfeited.

Compensation expense related to Service-based Awards, excluding compensation expense related to the amortization of LP Units, was $62,840 for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Other
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 $13,851 and $7,433 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The remaining unamortized amount of these awards was $23,869 as of December 31, 2014.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company agreed to release the transfer restrictions associated with 1,267 Class A LP Units and 610 Restricted Class A Shares held by certain employees of the Company.

During the first quarter of 2015, as part of the 2014 bonus awards, the Company granted to certain employees approximately 2,200 unvested RSUs pursuant to the 2006 Plan. These awards will generally vest over four years. In addition, during the first quarter of 2015, the Company granted approximately $7,400 of deferred cash to certain employees, a portion of which is subject to claw-back provisions.
The Company granted separation benefits to certain employees, resulting in expense included in Employee Compensation and Benefits of approximately $5,671, $4,834 and $7,273 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In conjunction with these arrangements, the Company distributed cash payments of $3,415, $3,314 and $5,135 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company also granted separation benefits to certain employees, resulting in expense included in Special Charges of approximately $3,372 for the year ended December 31, 2014. In conjunction with these arrangements, the Company distributed cash payments of $238 for the year ended December 31, 2014. See Note 5 for further information.

	On October 31, 2014, the Company closed on its acquisition of the operating businesses of ISI. Following the closing of the transactions, the Company combined ISI's business with the Company's existing Institutional Equities business within the Investment Banking segment. See Note 4 for further information related to our commitment in this transaction.
	Contingencies
	In the normal course of business, from time to time the Company and its affiliates are involved in other 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, Singapore, 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.
	In January 2015, Donna Marie Coburn filed a proposed class action complaint against ETC in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, in which she purports to represent a class of participants in the J.C. Penney Corporation Inc. Savings, Profit-Sharing and Stock Ownership Plan whose participant accounts held J.C. Penney stock at any time between May 15, 2012 and the present.  The complaint alleges that ETC  breached its fiduciary duties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act by causing the plan to invest in J.C. Penney stock during that period and claims the plan suffered losses of approximately $300 million due to declines in J.C. Penney stock.  The plaintiff seeks the recovery of alleged plan losses, attorneys’ fees, other costs, and other injunctive and equitable relief.  The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses against these claims and intends to vigorously defend against them. ETC is indemnified by J.C. Penney for reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, which would be refunded to J.C. Penney should ETC not prevail.

	-1	Primarily related to non-deductible share-based compensation expense.
	Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries totaled approximately $4,719 as of December 31, 2014. Deferred taxes have not been provided on the undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries, as the Company considers these amounts to be indefinitely reinvested to finance international growth and expansion. As of December 31, 2014, unrecognized net deferred tax liability attributable to those reinvested earnings would have aggregated approximately $1,437. In the event that such amounts were ever remitted, loaned to the Company, or if the stock in the foreign subsidiary was sold, these earnings could become subject to U.S. Federal tax and an income tax provision, if any, would be recognized at that time.
	Deferred income taxes are provided for the effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. These temporary differences result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Details of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:
		December 31,
		2014				2013
	Current Deferred Tax Assets:

	Valuation Allowance	(1,605		)		—
	Net Long-term Deferred Tax Assets	$	265,901			$	251,613
	The increase in net deferred tax assets from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2014 was primarily attributable to an increase in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Evercore LP, which resulted from the 2014 LP Unit exchanges. During 2014, the LP holders exchanged 1,162 Class A LP Units for Class A Shares, which resulted in an increase in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Evercore LP. Further, the exchange of 1,162 of such Class A LP Units triggered an additional liability under the tax receivable agreement that was entered into in 2006 between the Company and the LP Unit holders. The agreement provides for a payment to the LP Unit holders of 85% of the cash tax savings (if any), resulting from the increased tax benefits from the exchange and for the Company to retain 15% of such benefits. Accordingly, Deferred Tax Assets – Non-Current, Amounts Due Pursuant to Tax Receivable Agreements and Additional Paid-In-Capital increased $31,200, $26,520 and $4,680, respectively, on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2014. See Note 14 for further discussion.
	Additionally, the increase in net deferred tax assets from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2014 was also attributable to an increase of $5,374 related to the depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets.
	There was a net increase of $12,463 in the deferred tax liabilities from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2014, primarily related to the identified intangible assets acquired in the ISI acquisition. The acquisition was structured as a tax-free exchange under Internal Revenue Code Section 721 and therefore no tax basis step-up was reported in the acquired assets.
	The Company reported an increase in deferred tax assets of $1,072 associated with changes in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities and an increase of $5,129 associated with changes in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company reported an increase in deferred tax assets of $182 associated with changes in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities and a decrease of $307 associated with changes in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	The Company’s net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards primarily relate to loss carryforwards from the UK, which were fully utilized at December 31, 2014. The Company's affiliates generated approximately $5,054 of NYC unincorporated business tax credit carryforwards, which are set to expire in 2017. Management has weighed both the positive and negative evidence and determined that it was appropriate to establish a valuation allowance of $1,605 on the amount of credits that are not expected to be realized.
	A reconciliation of the changes in tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:
		December 31,
		2014				2013				2012
Beginning unrecognized tax benefit	$	624			$	98			$	1,109
Additions for tax positions of prior years	276				526				—
Reductions for tax positions of prior years	—				—				—
Lapse of Statute of Limitations	(98		)		—				(1,011		)
Decrease due to settlement with Taxing Authority	(802		)		—				—
Ending unrecognized tax benefit	$	—			$	624			$	98
The Company classifies interest relating to tax matters and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits, the Company recognized $191 of interest and penalties during the year ended December 31, 2014, prior to the settlement of the NYC UBT audit. The Company has $229 accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2014, prior to the settlement of the audit. The Company recognized $166 of interest and penalties during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company has $215 accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2013.
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s tax years for 2011 to present are subject to examination by the taxing authorities. The Company is currently under examination by New York City for tax years 2011 through 2013. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or foreign examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2011.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Concentration Risk Disclosure	Concentrations of Credit Risk
	Financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, foreign government obligations and receivables from clients. The Company has placed substantially all of its Cash and Cash Equivalents in interest-bearing deposits in U.S. commercial banks and U.S. investment banks that meet certain rating and capital requirements. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries maintain substantially all of their Cash and Cash Equivalents in interest bearing accounts at large commercial banking institutions domiciled in their respective countries of operation. Concentrations of credit risk are limited due to the quality of the Company’s clients.
	Credit Risks
	The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions with high credit ratings. At times, the Company may maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured (“FDIC”) limits or enter into sweep arrangements where banks will periodically transfer a portion of the Company's excess cash position to a money market fund. However, the Company believes that it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions or investment vehicles in which those deposits are held.
	As of December 31, 2014, the Company has securities purchased under agreements to resell of $7,669 for which the Company has received collateral with a fair value of $7,671. Additionally, the Company has securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $106,499, for which the Company has pledged collateral with a fair value of $106,632. The Company has established risk management procedures to monitor the exposure to concentrations of credit from Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell. The collateral for the receivables is primarily secured by Mexican government bonds and the Company monitors the collateral pledged under these agreements against their contract value from inception to maturity date.
	Accounts Receivable consists primarily of advisory fees and expense reimbursements billed to clients. Receivables are reported net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for bad debts to provide coverage for probable losses from customer receivables and derives the estimate through specific identification for the allowance for doubtful accounts and an assessment of the client’s creditworthiness. At December 31, 2014 and 2013 total receivables amounted to $136,280 and $83,347, respectively, net of an allowance. The Investment Banking and Investment Management receivables collection periods generally are within 90 days of invoice. The collection period for restructuring transactions and private equity fee receivables may exceed 90 days. The Company recorded bad debt expense of approximately $1,027, $2,099 and $1,803 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	With respect to the Company’s Marketable Securities portfolio, which is comprised of highly-rated corporate and municipal bonds, mutual funds and Seed Capital Investments, the Company manages its credit risk exposure by limiting concentration risk and maintaining investment grade credit quality. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had Marketable Securities of $37,985, of which 74% were corporate and municipal securities, primarily with S&P ratings ranging from AAA to BB+, and 26% were Seed Capital Investments and mutual funds.
	Periodically, the Company provides compensation to new and existing employees in the form of loans and/or other cash awards, which include a requirement of either full or partial repayment of these awards based on the terms of their employment agreements with the Company. See Note 17 for further information.

Significant_Accounting_Policie1

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
	The 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”) and International Strategy & Investment Group L.L.C. ("ISI L.L.C."), registered broker-dealers 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. The Consolidated Statements of Operations include the consolidated results of International Strategy & Investment ("ISI") following its acquisition in 2014. See Note 4 for further disclosure.
	At the time of the formation transaction, the members of Evercore LP (the “Members”) received Class A limited partnership units of Evercore LP (“Class A LP Units”) in consideration for their contribution of the various entities included in the historical combined financial statements of the Company. The Class A LP Units were subject to vesting requirements and transfer restrictions and are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock (“Class A Shares”). At December 31, 2013, all Class A LP Units were fully vested. On October 31, 2014, in conjunction with the acquisition of the operating businesses of ISI, the Company issued vested and unvested Class E limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class E LP Units") and vested and unvested Class G and H limited partnership interests of Evercore LP ("Class G and H Interests"). See Note 4 for further information. The Company accounts for exchanges of LP Units for Class A Shares based on the carrying amounts of the Members’ LP Units immediately before the exchange.
	The Company’s interest in Evercore LP is within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-20, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights”. The Company consolidates Evercore LP and records noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in Evercore LP held directly by others, which includes the Members.
Receivables, Policy	Accounts Receivable – Accounts Receivable consists primarily of investment banking fees and expense reimbursements charged to the Company’s clients. The Company records Accounts Receivable net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for bad debts to provide coverage for estimated losses from its client receivables. The Company determines the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on the Company’s analysis of the client’s creditworthiness and specifically reserves against exposure where the Company determines the receivables are impaired, which may include situations where a fee is in dispute or litigation has commenced.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy	Furniture, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements – Fixed assets, including office equipment, hardware and software and leasehold improvements, are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Furniture, equipment and computer hardware and software are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life of the asset.
Revenue Recognition, Policy	Investment Banking Revenue – The Company earns investment banking fees from clients for providing advisory services on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, leveraged buyouts, restructurings and similar corporate finance matters. The Company’s Investment Banking services also include services related to securities underwriting, private fund placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. It is the Company’s accounting policy to recognize revenue when (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement with a client, (ii) fees are fixed or determinable, (iii) the agreed-upon services have been completed and delivered to the client or the transaction or events contemplated in the engagement letter are determined to be substantially completed and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. The Company records Investment Banking Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the following:
	Advisory Fees – In general, advisory fees are paid at the time the Company signs an engagement letter, during the course of the engagement or when an engagement is completed. In some circumstances, and as a function of the terms of an engagement letter, the Company may receive retainer fees for financial advisory services concurrent with, or soon after, the execution of the engagement letter where the engagement letter will specify a future service period associated with that fee. In such circumstances, these retainer fees are initially recorded as deferred revenue, which is recorded in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and subsequently recognized as revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the applicable time period within which the service is rendered. Revenues related to fairness or valuation opinions are recognized when the opinion has been rendered and delivered to the client and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied. Success fees for advisory services, such as merger and acquisition advice, are recognized when the transaction(s) or event(s) are determined to be completed or substantially completed and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied. In the event the Company were to receive an opinion or success fee in advance of the completion conditions noted above, such fee would initially be recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently recognized as advisory fee revenue when the conditions of completion have been satisfied.
	Placement Fees – Placement fee revenues are attributable to capital raising on both a primary and secondary basis. The Company recognizes placement advisory fees at the time of the client’s acceptance of capital or capital commitments in accordance with the terms of the engagement letter.
	Underwriting Fees – Underwriting fees are attributable to public and private offerings of equity and debt securities and are recognized when the offering has been deemed to be completed by the lead manager of the underwriting group. When the offering is completed, the Company recognizes the applicable management fee, selling concession and underwriting fee, the latter net of estimated offering expenses.
	Commissions and Related Fees – Commissions and Related Fees include commissions received from customers for the execution of agency-based brokerage transactions in listed and over-the-counter equities and are recorded on a trade-date basis or, in the case of payments under commission sharing arrangements, when earned. The Company earns subscription fees for the sales of research. Cash received before the subscription period ends is initially recorded as deferred revenue in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and is recognized in Investment Banking Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related services are rendered.
	Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Investment Management Revenue – The Company’s Investment Management business generates revenues from the management of client assets and the private equity funds.
	Investment management fees for third-party clients are generally based on the value of the assets under management and any performance fees that may be negotiated with the client. These fees are generally recognized over the period that the related services are provided, based upon the beginning, ending or average value of the assets for the relevant period. Fees paid in advance of services rendered are initially recorded as deferred revenue, which is recorded in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and are recognized in Investment Management Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related service is rendered. Generally, to the extent performance fee arrangements have been negotiated, these fees are earned when the return on assets exceeds certain benchmark returns.
	Management fees for private equity funds are contractual and are typically based on committed capital during the private equity funds’ investment period, and on invested capital, thereafter. Management fees are recognized ratably over the period during which services are provided. The management fees may provide for a management fee offset for certain portfolio company fees the Company earns. The Company also records performance fee revenue from the private equity funds when the returns on the private equity funds’ investments exceed certain threshold minimums. These performance fees, or carried interest, are computed in accordance with the underlying private equity funds’ partnership agreements and are based on investment performance over the life of each investment partnership. Historically, the Company recorded performance fee revenue from its managed private equity funds when the private equity funds’ investment values exceeded certain threshold minimums. During 2014, the Company changed its method of recording performance fees such that the Company records performance fees upon the earlier of the termination of the investment fund or when the likelihood of clawback is mathematically improbable. This method is considered the more preferable of the two methods accepted under ASC 605-20-S99-1. This change in accounting policy had no effect on the prior period information included on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, or the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	Fees generated for serving as an independent fiduciary and/or trustee are either based on a flat fee, are pre-negotiated with the client or are based on the value of assets under administration. For ongoing engagements, fees are billed quarterly either in advance or in arrears. Fees paid in advance of services rendered are initially recorded as deferred revenue in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and are recognized in Investment Management Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related services are rendered.
Other Revenue And Interest Expense, Policy	Other Revenue, Including Interest and Interest Expense – Other Revenue, Including Interest and Interest Expense is derived primarily from financing transactions. These transactions are principally repurchases and resales of Mexican government securities. Revenue and expenses associated with these transactions are recognized over the term of the repurchase transaction. Other Revenue, Including Interest and Interest Expense also includes interest expense associated with the $120,000 principal amount of senior unsecured notes (“Senior Notes”) and other financing arrangements, as well as income earned on marketable securities and cash deposited with financial institutions and changes in amounts due pursuant to the Company's tax receivable agreements.
Client Expense Reimbursement, Policy	Client Expense Reimbursement – In the conduct of its financial advisory service engagements and in advising the private equity funds, the Company receives reimbursement for certain expenses incurred by the Company on behalf of its clients and the funds. Transaction-related expenses, which are billable to clients, are recognized as revenue and recorded in Accounts Receivable on the later of the date of an executed engagement letter or the date the expense is incurred.
Noncontrolling Interest, Policy	Noncontrolling Interest – Noncontrolling interest recorded in the consolidated financial statements of the Company relates to the portions of the subsidiaries not owned by the Company. The Company allocates net income to noncontrolling interests held at Evercore LP and at the operating entity level, where required, by multiplying the relative ownership interest of the noncontrolling interest holders for the period by the net income or loss for the entity which the noncontrolling interest relates. In circumstances where the governing documents of the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates require special allocations of profits (losses) to the controlling and noncontrolling interest holders, then the net income or loss of these entities will be allocated based on these special allocations.
	ASC 810, “Consolidation" (“ASC 810”) requires reporting entities to present noncontrolling (minority) interests as equity (as opposed to as a liability or mezzanine equity) and provides guidance on the accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling Interest is presented as a component of Total Equity on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and below Net Income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, there is an allocation of the components of Total Comprehensive Income between controlling interests and noncontrolling interests for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. Changes in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains control of its subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy	Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of short-term highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy	Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The majority of the Company’s assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value or at amounts that approximate fair value. Such assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, investments, marketable securities, financial instruments owned and pledged as collateral, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, receivables and payables and accruals. See Note 10 for further information.
Marketable Securities, Policy	Marketable Securities – Marketable Securities include investments in corporate, municipal and other debt securities, as well as investments in readily-marketable equity securities, which are accounted for as available-for-sale under ASC 320-10, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”. These securities are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as net increases or decreases to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), net of tax, while realized gains and losses on these securities are determined using the specific identification method and are included in Other Revenue, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The readily-marketable debt and equity securities are valued using quoted market prices on applicable exchanges or markets. Marketable Securities also include investments in municipal bonds held at EGL and mutual funds, which are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in Other Revenues, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Marketable Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date.
Repurchase Agreements, Collateral, Policy	Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value – The Company’s Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value consist principally of foreign government obligations, which are recorded on a trade-date basis and are stated at quoted market values. Related gains and losses are reflected in Other Revenue, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company pledges the Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value to collateralize certain financing arrangements, which permits the counterparty to pledge the securities.
Repurchase and Resale Agreements Policy	Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase – Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase are treated as collateralized financing transactions. The agreements provide that the transferor will receive substantially the same securities in return at the maturity of the agreement. These transactions are carried at the amounts at which the related securities will be subsequently resold or repurchased, plus accrued interest payable or receivable. As the maturities on these transactions are short-term in nature (i.e. generally mature on the next business day) and the underlying securities are debt instruments of the Mexican Governments or its agencies, their carrying amounts approximate fair value. The Company periodically assesses the collectability or credit quality related to securities purchased under agreements to resell.
Investments, Policy	Investments – The Company’s investments include investments in private equity partnerships, the Company’s equity interests in G5 ǀ Evercore, ABS Investment Management, LLC (“ABS”) and Evercore Pan-Asset Capital Management (“Pan”, consolidated on March 15, 2013 and sold on December 3, 2013), which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and Trilantic Capital Partners ("Trilantic").
	Private Equity – The investments of private equity funds consist primarily of investments in marketable and non-marketable securities of the portfolio companies. The underlying investments held by the private equity funds are valued based on quoted market prices or estimated fair value if there is no public market. The Company determines fair value of non-marketable securities by giving consideration to a range of factors, including but not limited to, market conditions, operating performance (current and projected) and subsequent financing transactions. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation of these non-marketable securities, estimated values may materially differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for these investments. Investments in publicly-traded securities held by the private equity funds are valued using quoted market prices. The Company recognizes its allocable share of the changes in fair value of the private equity funds’ underlying investments as realized and unrealized gains (losses) within Investment Management Revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Affiliates – The Company’s equity interests in G5 ǀ Evercore, ABS and Pan (consolidated on March 15, 2013 and sold on December 3, 2013) include its share of the income (losses) within Income (Loss) from Equity Method Investments, as a component of Income Before Income Taxes, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	The Company assesses its Equity Method Investments annually for impairment, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.
	The Company also maintains an investment in Trilantic. See Note 9 for further information.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy	Goodwill and Intangible Assets – Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, as of November 30th, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The Company assesses whether any goodwill recorded by its applicable reporting unit is impaired by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its respective carrying amount. For acquired businesses, contingent consideration is recognized and measured at fair value as of the acquisition date and at subsequent reporting periods.
	Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable as prescribed by ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” ("ASC 360").
	The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. In determining the fair value for each reporting unit the Company utilizes either a market multiple approach or a discounted cash flow methodology based on the adjusted cash flows from operations, or a weighted combination of both a market multiple approach and discounted cash flow methodology. The market multiple approach includes applying the average earnings multiples of comparable public companies for their respective reporting unit multiplied by the forecasted earnings of the respective reporting unit to yield an estimate of fair value. The discounted cash flow methodology begins with the forecasted adjusted cash flows from each of the reporting units and uses a discount rate that reflects the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the risks inherent in the future cash flows.
	See Note 4 for further information.
Compensation Related Costs, Policy	Compensation and Benefits – Compensation includes salaries, bonuses (discretionary awards and guaranteed amounts), severance, deferred cash and share-based compensation. Cash bonuses are accrued over the respective service periods to which they relate and deferred cash and share-based bonuses are expensed prospectively over their requisite service period.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans, Policy	Share-Based Payments –The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). See Note 17 for further information.
	Compensation expense recognized pursuant to share-based awards is based on the grant date fair value of the award. The fair value (as measured on the grant date) of awards that vest from one to five years (“Service-based Awards”) is amortized over the vesting periods or requisite service periods as required under ASC 718, however, the vesting of some Service-based Awards will accelerate upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company amortizes the grant-date fair value of share-based compensation awards made to employees, who are or will become retirement eligible prior to the stated vesting date, over the expected substantive service period. For the purposes of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders, unvested Service-based Awards are included in the diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. Once vested, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and restricted stock are included in the basic and diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding. Expense relating to RSUs and restricted stock is charged to Employee Compensation and Benefits within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Compensation expense is recognized pursuant to performance-based awards if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. See Note 17 for a discussion of the awards issued in conjunction with the Company's acquisition of the operating businesses of ISI.
	Awards classified as liabilities as required under ASC 718, such as cash settled share-based awards, are re-measured at fair value at each reporting period.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations, Policy	Foreign Currency Translation – Foreign currency assets and liabilities have been translated at rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the periods presented. Income and expenses transacted in foreign currency have been translated at average monthly exchange rates during the period. Translation gains and losses are included in the foreign currency translation adjustment as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Exchange gains and losses arising from translating intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature are recorded in the foreign currency translation account while transactional exchange gains and losses are included in Other Revenue, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Income Tax, Policy	Income Taxes –The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of its assets and liabilities, as disclosed in Note 20.
	Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse. Such temporary differences are reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s net deferred tax assets.
	ASC 740 provides a benefit recognition model with a two-step approach consisting of “more-likely-than-not” recognition criteria, and a measurement attribute that measures the position as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also requires the recognition of liabilities created by differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements. See Note 20 for further information.

	(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 years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, 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 5,161, 6,433 and 8,695 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, 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 $12,912, $12,804 and $8,135 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all vested Class A LP Units and all Class E LP Units are converted into Class A Shares, all unvested Class A LP Units (as of December 31, 2013 all Class A LP Units were fully vested) 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.
	(b)	At December 31, 2014, the Company has outstanding Evercore LP G and H Interests which are contingently exchangeable into Class A shares, subject to certain performance thresholds being achieved. See Note 17 for a further discussion. For the purposes of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders, the Company’s Class G and H LP Interests will be included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding as of the beginning of the period in which all necessary performance conditions have been satisfied. If all necessary performance conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of shares that will be included in diluted weighted average Class A shares outstanding will be based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the performance period. For the year ended December 31, 2014, none of these interests were assumed to be converted for purposes of computing diluted EPS.

[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 years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, 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 5,161, 6,433 and 8,695 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, 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 $12,912, $12,804 and $8,135 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all vested Class A LP Units and all Class E LP Units are converted into Class A Shares, all unvested Class A LP Units (as of December 31, 2013 all Class A LP Units were fully vested) 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.
[2]	At December 31, 2014, the Company has outstanding Evercore LP G and H Interests which are contingently exchangeable into Class A shares, subject to certain performance thresholds being achieved. See Note 17 for a further discussion. For the purposes of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders, the Companybs Class G and H LP Interests will be included in diluted weighted average ClassB A Shares outstanding as of the beginning of the period in which all necessary performance conditions have been satisfied. If all necessary performance conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of shares that will be included in diluted weighted average Class A shares outstanding will be based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the performance period. For the year ended December 31, 2014, none of these interests were assumed to be converted for purposes of computing diluted EPS.
