Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies
	For a complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
	Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The December 31, 2014 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP’s wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. (“EGL”) 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.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	ASU 2014-08 – In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (“ASU 2014-08”). ASU 2014-08 provides amendments to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements”, and ASC 360, which change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. The amendments in this update improve the definition of discontinued operations by limiting discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The amendments also require expanded disclosures for discontinued operations and also require an entity to disclose the pretax profit or loss (or change in net assets for a not-for-profit entity) of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted.The adoption of ASU 2014-08 did not have a material impact 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, 2017, with early adoption permitted beginning after December 15, 2016. 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 adoption of ASU 2014-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.
	ASU 2014-12 – In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”). 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 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 2014-17 – In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17, “Pushdown Accounting” (“ASU 2014-17”). ASU 2014-17 provides amendments to ASC No. 805, “Business Combinations”, which provide an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. 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”). ASU 2015-01 provides amendments to ASC No. 225-20, “Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items”, which eliminate the concept of extraordinary items.

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 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, or by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties. The Company accounts for these repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements as collateralized financing transactions, which are carried at their contract amounts, which approximate fair value given that the contracts generally mature the following business day. The Company records a liability on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in relation to repurchase transactions executed with clients as Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. The Company records as assets on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value (where the Company has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market) and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell (where the Company has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase agreements by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties). These Mexican government securities had an estimated average time to maturity of approximately 1.0 years, as of March 31, 2015, and are pledged as collateral against repurchase agreements. Generally, collateral is posted equal to the contract value at inception and is subject to market changes. These repurchase agreements are primarily with institutional customer accounts managed by ECB and permit the counterparty to pledge the securities.
	As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition consist of investments in private equity partnerships, Trilantic Capital Partners ("Trilantic") and other investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies. The Company’s investments are relatively high-risk and illiquid assets.
	The Company’s investments in private equity partnerships consist of investment interests in private equity funds which are voting interest entities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on the private equity investments are included within Investment Management Revenue, as the Company considers this activity integral to its Private Equity business.
	The Company also has investments in G5 ǀ Evercore and ABS Investment Management, LLC ("ABS"), which are voting interest entities. The Company’s share of earnings (losses) on its investments in G5 ǀ Evercore and ABS are included within Income from Equity Method Investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Investments in Private Equity
	Private Equity Funds
	The Company’s investments related to private equity partnerships and associated entities include investments in Evercore Capital Partners II, L.P. (“ECP II”), Discovery Americas I, L.P. (the “Discovery Fund”), Evercore Mexico Capital Partners II, L.P. (“EMCP II”), Evercore Mexico Capital Partners III, L.P. (“EMCP III”), CSI Capital, L.P. (“CSI Capital”), Trilantic Capital Partners Associates IV, L.P. (“Trilantic IV”) and Trilantic Capital Partners V, L.P. ("Trilantic V"). Portfolio holdings of the private equity funds are carried at fair value. Accordingly, the Company reflects its pro rata share of the unrealized gains and losses occurring from changes in fair value. Additionally, the Company reflects its pro rata share of realized gains, losses and carried interest associated with any investment realizations.
	On December 31, 2014, ECP II was terminated. The Company's investment at March 31, 2015 of $1,034 is comprised of remaining interest in the general partner, including $778 in cash, $78 in cash escrow balances, $66 in a seller note and $112 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 March 31, 2015, unfunded commitments of EMP III were $4,676, including $429 due from the Company.
	A summary of the Company’s investment in the private equity funds as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:
		31-Mar-15		December 31, 2014
	ECP II	$	1,034	$	4,043
	Discovery Fund	3,454		2,867
	EMCP II	8,763		12,630
	EMCP III	6,998		7,272
	CSI Capital	264		3,030
	Trilantic IV	3,415		3,798
	Trilantic V	2,932		2,911
	Total Private Equity Funds	$	26,860	$	36,551
	Net realized and unrealized losses on private equity fund investments were ($489) and ($61) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, ECP II, EMCP II and CSI Capital made distributions of $3,000, $3,194 and $2,750, respectively. In the event the funds perform poorly, the Company may be obligated to repay certain carried interest previously distributed. As of March 31, 2015, 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 Evercore Partners II, L.L.C. ("EP II L.L.C."), the general partner of ECP II, is a VIE pursuant to ASC 810, "Consolidation" ("ASC 810). The Company owns 8%-9% of the carried interest earned by the general partner of ECP II. The Company’s assessment of the design of EP II L.L.C. resulted in the determination that the Company is not acting as an agent for other members of the general partner and is a passive holder of interests in the fund, evidenced by the fact that the Company is a non-voting, non-managing member of the general partner and, therefore, has no authority in directing the management operations of the general partner. Furthermore, the Company does not have the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially have a significant impact to EP II L.L.C. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of EP II L.L.C. and has not consolidated EP II L.L.C. in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In 2013, EMP III amended and restated its Limited Partnership Agreement and admitted certain limited partners, which are related parties of the Company.  The Company viewed this modification as a reconsideration event under ASC 810-10, "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 $7,207 and liabilities of $150 at March 31, 2015 and assets of $7,327 and liabilities of $75 at December 31, 2014, in the Company's Unaudited Condensed 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 the three months ended March 31, 2015, $12 and $3 of this investment was allocated to Trilantic Fund V and IV, respectively. 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 $13,440 and $13,455 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company has a $5,000 commitment to invest in Trilantic Fund V, of which $3,574 was unfunded at March 31, 2015. The Company and Trilantic anticipate that the Company will participate in the successor funds to Trilantic Fund V. The Company further anticipates that participation in successor funds will be at amounts comparable to those of Trilantic Fund V.
	Equity Method Investments
	A summary of the Company’s other investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:
		31-Mar-15		December 31, 2014
	G5 ǀ Evercore	$	31,737	$	32,756
	ABS	39,424		43,825
	Total	$	71,161	$	76,581
	G5 ǀ Evercore
	In 2010, the Company made an investment accounted for under the equity method of accounting in G5 ǀ Evercore. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company settled its contingent consideration arrangement entered into in conjunction with its initial investment in G5 ǀ Evercore. Accordingly, in June 2014 the Company issued 131 shares of restricted Class A common stock, with a fair value of $7,232, and $7,916 of cash to the owners of G5 ǀ Evercore.
	At March 31, 2015, the Company’s economic ownership interest in G5 ǀ Evercore was 49%. This investment resulted in losses of ($57) and ($837) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, included within Income from Equity Method Investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	ABS
	In 2011, the Company made an investment accounted for under the equity method of accounting in ABS. At March 31, 2015, the Company’s economic ownership interest in ABS was 45%. This investment resulted in earnings of $1,164 and $1,078 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, included within Income from Equity Method Investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Other
	The Company allocates the purchase price of its equity method investments, in part, to the inherent finite-lived identifiable intangible assets of the investees. The Company’s share of the earnings of the investees has been reduced by the amortization of these identifiable intangible assets inherent in the investments of $621 and $647 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements
	ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily-available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
	Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
	Level I – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I include listed equities and listed derivatives. As required by ASC 820, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
	Level II – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. The estimated fair values of the Corporate Bonds, Municipal Bonds, Other Debt Securities and Securities Investments held at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are based on quoted market prices provided by external pricing services.
	Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.
	The following table presents the categorization of investments and certain other financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

	In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.
	The Company had no transfers between fair value levels during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or the year ended December 31, 2014.
	The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instrument assets and liabilities, which are not measured at fair value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, are listed in the tables below.

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.
	Pursuant to the agreement, Mizuho may transfer (A) the Senior Notes (i) with the Company’s consent, (ii) to a permitted transferee, or (iii) to the extent that such transfer does not result in any holder or group of affiliated holders directly or indirectly owning more than 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes, and (B) the Warrants (i) with the Company’s consent, (ii) to a permitted transferee, (iii) pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, or a merger or sale transaction involving the Company that has been recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors, or (iv) to the extent that such transfer is made pursuant to a widely distributed public offering or does not result in any holder or group of affiliated holders directly or indirectly owning more than 2% of the Company’s voting securities and the total shares of Class A common stock transferred, together with any shares of Class A common stock (on an as-converted basis) transferred during the preceding 12 months, is less than 25% of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock. The Company has a right of first offer on any proposed transfer by Mizuho of the Warrants, Common Stock purchased in the open market or acquired by exercise of the Warrants and associated Common Stock issued as dividends.
	The exercise price for the Warrants is payable, at the option of the holder of the Warrants, either in cash or by tender of Senior Notes at the Accreted Amount, at any point in time.

	The calculations of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are described and presented below.
		For the Three Months Ended March 31,
		2015		2014
	Basic Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. Common Shareholders
	Numerator:
	Net income attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders	$	4,300	$	10,568
	Denominator:
	Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, including vested restricted stock units ("RSUs")	36,725		34,667
	Basic net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders	$	0.12	$	0.3
	Diluted Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. Common Shareholders

	Associated corporate taxes related to the assumed elimination of Noncontrolling Interest described above	(a)		(a)
	Diluted net income attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders	$	4,300	$	10,568
	Denominator:
	Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, including vested RSUs	36,725		34,667
	Assumed exchange of LP Units for Class A Shares	(a)		(a)
	Additional shares of the Company's common stock assumed to be issued pursuant to non-vested RSUs and deferred consideration, as calculated using the Treasury Stock Method	2,246		3,473
	Shares that are contingently issuable (b)	724		201
	Assumed conversion of Warrants issued	3,093		3,357
	Diluted weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding	42,788		41,698
	Diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders	$	0.1	$	0.25
	(a)	The Company has outstanding LP Units in its subsidiary, Evercore LP, which give the holders the right to receive Class A Shares upon exchange on a one for one basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 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 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 per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 6,793 and 5,085 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 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 $683 and $1,589 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 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, 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 March 31, 2015, the Company has outstanding Evercore LP G and H Interests which are contingently exchangeable into Class E LP Units, and ultimately Class A shares, as they are subject to certain performance thresholds being achieved. See Note 14 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 three months ended March 31, 2015, 724 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.

	Compensation expense related to Service-based Awards was $27,495 and $22,244 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
	Deferred Cash Program
	The Company's deferred compensation program provides participants the ability to elect to receive a portion of their deferred compensation in cash, which is indexed to a notional investment portfolio and vests ratably over four years and requires payment upon vesting. Compensation expense related to this deferred compensation program was $560 and $894 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
	Acquisition-related LP Units
	Equities business - In conjunction with the acquisition of the operating businesses of ISI in 2014, the Company issued Class E LP Units and Class G and H LP Interests which will be treated as compensation going forward. The Class E LP Units issued includes 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. Compensation expense related to Class E LP Units was $5,068 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
	The Company also issued 538 vested and 540 unvested Class G LP Interests in 2014, which will vest ratably on February 15, 2016, 2017 and 2018, and 2,044 vested and 2,051 unvested Class H LP Interests in 2014, which will vest ratably on February 15, 2018, 2019 and 2020. The Company’s vested Class G Interests will become exchangeable in February 2016, 2017 and 2018 if certain earnings before interest and taxes, excluding underwriting, ("Management Basis EBIT") margin thresholds, within a range of 12% to 16%, are achieved for the calendar year preceding the date the interests become exchangeable. The Company’s vested Class H Interests will become exchangeable in February 2018, 2019 and 2020 if certain average Management Basis EBIT and Management Basis EBIT margin thresholds, within ranges of $8,000 to $48,000 and 7% to 17%, respectively, are achieved for the three calendar years preceding the date the interests become exchangeable. The amount of Class H LP Interests which become exchangeable are scaled to the threshold levels achieved.
	Based on Evercore ISI’s results for the first three months of 2015, the first full quarter of combined operations, and the anticipated impact of certain efficiency initiatives identified and executed during the first quarter of 2015, the Company determined that the achievement of certain of the performance thresholds for the Class G and H LP Interests was probable at March 31, 2015. This determination was based on an assumed Management Basis EBIT margin of 15% and annual Management Basis EBIT over the performance period of $31,500 for Evercore ISI. Accordingly, $20,143 of expense was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2015 for the Class G and H Interests.
	Other Acquisition Related
	Lexicon - Compensation expense related to the Lexicon Acquisition-related Awards and deferred cash consideration was $615 and ($29), respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and $2,241 and $932, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

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. Compensation expense related to these awards was $1,513 and $1,111 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively
	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 $4,580 and $2,647 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The remaining unamortized amount of these awards was $24,992 as of March 31, 2015.
	The Company granted separation benefits to certain employees, resulting in expense included in Employee Compensation and Benefits of approximately $1,608 and $3,391 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In conjunction with these arrangements, the Company distributed cash payments of $1,210 and $2,481 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

	The Company also has additional commitments related to its redeemable noncontrolling interests. See Note 12 for further information.
	In addition, the Company enters into commitments to pay contingent consideration related to certain of its acquisitions. At March 31, 2015, the Company had one remaining commitment for contingent consideration, related to its acquisition of Protego in 2006. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company is obligated to pay the partners that sold Protego 90% of the return proceeds and performance fees received from Protego's investment in the general partner of the Discovery Fund. During 2014, the Company received distributions from Discovery Americas Associated L.P., the general partner of the Discovery Fund. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2015, the Company recorded Goodwill of $1,913 pursuant to this agreement. The carrying value of the Company's investment in the Discovery Fund is $3,454 at March 31, 2015. See Note 8 for further information.
	In 2014, Evercore Partners Services East L.L.C. ("East"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, increased its line of credit from First Republic Bank to an aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000, to be used for working capital and other corporate activities, including, but not limited to, the repurchase of the Company's stock from time to time.  This facility is secured by (i) cash and cash equivalents of East held in a designated account with First Republic Bank, (ii) certain of East's intercompany receivables and (iii) third party accounts receivable of EGL. Drawings under this facility bear interest at the prime rate and the maturity date is June 27, 2015. The Company drew down $45,000 on this facility on February 5, 2015. The amount may be settled, at the Company's option, at any time prior to the maturity date.
	During the first quarter of 2015, in conjunction with the Company entering into a strategic alliance with Luminis Partners ("Luminis"), the Company committed to loan Luminis $5,500.

	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 Evercore Trust Company, N.A. ("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 (the "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, and ultimately the Plan, for reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, which would be refunded should ETC not prevail.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The December 31, 2014 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP’s wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. (“EGL”) 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.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Schedule Of Basic And Diluted Net Income Per Share	The calculations of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are described and presented below.
		For the Three Months Ended March 31,
		2015		2014
	Basic Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. Common Shareholders
	Numerator:
	Net income attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders	$	4,300	$	10,568
	Denominator:
	Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, including vested restricted stock units ("RSUs")	36,725		34,667
	Basic net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders	$	0.12	$	0.3
	Diluted Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. Common Shareholders
	Numerator:
	Net income attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders	$	4,300	$	10,568
	Noncontrolling interest related to the assumed exchange of LP Units for Class A Shares	(a)		(a)
	Associated corporate taxes related to the assumed elimination of Noncontrolling Interest described above	(a)		(a)
	Diluted net income attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders	$	4,300	$	10,568
	Denominator:
	Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, including vested RSUs	36,725		34,667
	Assumed exchange of LP Units for Class A Shares	(a)		(a)
	Additional shares of the Company's common stock assumed to be issued pursuant to non-vested RSUs and deferred consideration, as calculated using the Treasury Stock Method	2,246		3,473
	Shares that are contingently issuable (b)	724		201
	Assumed conversion of Warrants issued	3,093		3,357
	Diluted weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding	42,788		41,698
	Diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders	$	0.1	$	0.25
	(a)	The Company has outstanding LP Units in its subsidiary, Evercore LP, which give the holders the right to receive Class A Shares upon exchange on a one for one basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 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 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 per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 6,793 and 5,085 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 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 $683 and $1,589 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 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, 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 March 31, 2015, the Company has outstanding Evercore LP G and H Interests which are contingently exchangeable into Class E LP Units, and ultimately Class A shares, as they are subject to certain performance thresholds being achieved. See Note 14 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 three months ended March 31, 2015, 724 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 three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 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 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 per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 6,793 and 5,085 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 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 $683 and $1,589 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 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, 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.
