Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies For a further discussion of the Company's accounting policies, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . 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, 2016 . The December 31, 2016 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, 2017. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP's wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. ("EGL"), a registered broker-dealer in the U.S. The Company's policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. 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 2015, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-02, "Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis," ("ASU 2015-02") was issued. This ASU eliminates the deferral of ASU No. 2010-10, "Amendments for Certain Investment Funds," which allows reporting entities with interests in certain investment funds to follow the consolidation guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 810, "Consolidation," ("ASC 810") and makes other changes to the variable interest model and the voting model. ASU 2015-02 modifies the evaluation performed by reporting entities on limited partnerships and similar entities and also impacts the evaluation performed by reporting entities on VIE determination, and determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The Company adopted ASU 2015-02 on January 1, 2016. Pursuant to the provisions of ASU 2015-02, Evercore LP is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2015-02, the Company consolidated Evercore LP as a voting interest entity. Specifically, the Company has the majority economic interest in Evercore LP and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity while the limited partners have no kick-out or substantive participating rights. The assets and liabilities of Evercore LP represent substantially all of the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company with the exception of U.S. corporate taxes and related items, which are presented on the Company's (Parent Company Only) Condensed Statements of Financial Position in Note 23 to the Company's consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . International Strategy & Investment (U.K.) Limited ("ISI U.K.") is also a VIE pursuant to ASC 810 and the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE. Specifically, the Company provides financial support through a transfer pricing agreement with this entity, which exposes the Company to losses that are potentially significant to the entity, and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity. Following the adoption of ASU 2015-02, the Company also concluded that Evercore Partners International LLP ("Evercore U.K.") is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE. The Company has the majority economic interest in Evercore U.K. and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of this entity. The Company included in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition ISI U.K. and Evercore U.K. assets of $119,253 and liabilities of $85,848 at June 30, 2017 and assets of $116,958 and liabilities of $90,260 at December 31, 2016. 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 2014-09 – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, " Deferral of the Effective Date, " which provides amendments that defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, "Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing," which provides clarification to identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance in ASU 2014-09. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, "Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients," which provides clarification on certain issues identified in the guidance on assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration, and completed contracts and contract modifications at transition in ASU 2014-09. The amendments in these updates 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 anticipates that it will adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method of transition, which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Based on the Company's initial evaluation of ASU 2014-09, success related advisory fees, for which payment is generally dependent on the closing of a strategic transaction, a financing arrangement or some other defined outcome, will be considered variable consideration as defined by the standard. ASU 2014-09 requires that revenue be recognized when it is probable that variable consideration will not be reversed in a future period. Accordingly, revenue recognition for such fees could be accelerated under ASU 2014-09 in rare circumstances, which will require careful analysis and judgment. Under current U.S. GAAP, the Company recognizes such fees upon closing regardless of the probability of the outcome. In addition, pending the outcome of interpretive guidance (see below), the recognition of certain non-refundable fees received in connection with advisory engagements may be deferred along with deal-related expenses, until success fees are recognized or the transaction is terminated. These non-refundable fees and related expenses are currently recognized over the life of the engagement. The effect of the timing of revenue and expense recognition could be material to any given reporting period. Furthermore, current U.S. GAAP allows expenses related to underwriting transactions to be reflected net in related revenues. The Company's initial evaluation of ASU 2014-09 is that those expenses would be presented gross in the results of operations. Interpretive guidance on ASU 2014-09 continues to be issued and vetted, in particular by the AICPA industry task force on Broker-Dealers, the AICPA's Revenue Recognition Working Group and the AICPA's Financial Reporting Executive Committee (FinREC). The Company will continue to evaluate this guidance and assess the preliminary views against its initial evaluation. ASU 2016-01 - In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("ASU 2016-01"). ASU 2016-01 provides amendments to ASC No. 825, "Financial Instruments," which change the requirements for certain aspects of recognition, measurement and presentation of financial assets and liabilities and amend the disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, 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 2016-02 - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 supersedes ASC No. 840, "Leases," and includes requirements for the recognition of a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. The amendments in this update are effective using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest period presented, during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company anticipates adopting ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption will result in the present value of the Company's lease commitments which have a term in excess of one year being reflected on the Company's Statements of Financial Condition as a long-term fixed asset with a corresponding long-term liability. The Company's lease commitments, as discussed in Note 15, primarily relate to office space. The lease-related assets will be amortized to expense over the life of the leases and the liability, and related interest expense, will be reduced as lease payments are made over the life of the lease. The net impact on the Company's earnings is not expected to be materially different from the current expense related to leases as required under current U.S. GAAP, which is primarily reflected in Occupancy and Equipment Rental expense on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations . ASU 2016-07 - In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, "Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting" ("ASU 2016-07"). ASU 2016-07 provides amendments to ASC No. 323, "Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures," which simplify the accounting for equity method investments by eliminating the requirement to adjust the investment, results of operations and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively to increases in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that results in the adoption of the equity method, during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto. ASU 2016-09 - In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 provides amendments to ASC No. 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation," which simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The application of ASU 2016-09 resulted in excess tax benefits from the delivery of Class A common stock ("Class A Shares") under share-based payment arrangements being recognized in the Company's Provision for Income Taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, rather than in Additional Paid-In-Capital under prior U.S. GAAP. The Company used the retrospective transition method for the presentation of excess tax benefits on the Statements of Cash Flows; as such, the Company classified excess tax benefits as an operating activity within Taxes Payable on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The application of ASU 2016-09 will result in greater volatility in the effective tax rate and could be material to the results of operations and the classifications of cash flows in future periods depending upon the level of earnings and stock price of the Company, among other things. See Note 17 for further detail, including the impact of the application of ASU 2016-09 on the current period. ASU 2016-13 - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 provides amendments to ASC No. 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which amend the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments and adds an impairment model (the current expected credit loss (CECL) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Entities will recognize an allowance for its estimate of expected credit losses as of the end of each reporting period. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted after December 15, 2018. The Company currently uses the specific identification method for establishing credit provisions and write-offs of its trade accounts receivable. The Company anticipates adopting ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 and does not anticipate a material difference between the current method and the CECL model. ASU 2016-15 - In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"). ASU 2016-15 provides amendments to ASC No. 230, " Statement of Cash Flows, " which provide guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective retrospectively, or prospectively, if retrospective application is impracticable, during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto. ASU 2016-18 - In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, " Restricted Cash " ("ASU 2016-18"). ASU 2016-18 provides amendments to ASC No. 230, " Statement of Cash Flows, " which require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The amendments in this update are effective retrospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto. ASU 2017-01 - In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Clarifying the Definition of a Business" ("ASU 2017-01"). ASU 2017-01 provides amendments to ASC No. 805, " Business Combinations, " which clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto. ASU 2017-04 - In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 provides amendments to ASC No. 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350"), which eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Entities should perform their goodwill impairment tests by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 during the second quarter of 2017. See Note 4 for further information. ASU 2017-09 - In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, "Scope of Modification Accounting" ("ASU 2017-09"). ASU 2017-09 provides amendments to ASC No. 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation," which provide guidance and clarity around which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Developments, Acquisition and Transition Costs, Special Charges and Intangible Asset Amortization	Business Developments, Acquisition and Transition Costs, Special Charges and Intangible Asset Amortization Business Developments On May 8, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Institutional Trust and Independent Fiduciary business of Evercore Trust Company, N.A. ("ETC"), which is a part of its Investment Management segment. Completion of this transaction is expected to occur before the end of 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the Company recorded $31,515 of Assets Held for Sale, comprised of $28,442 of goodwill, representing an allocation of goodwill based on the relative fair value of the business being sold to the total fair value of the Institutional Asset Management reporting unit, and $3,073 of accounts receivable. The Company also recorded $365 of Liabilities Held for Sale, comprised of deferred revenue. In accordance with ASC 350, the Company performed an impairment assessment of the goodwill remaining in the Institutional Asset Management reporting unit following the classification of the Institutional Trust and Independent Fiduciary business as Held for Sale. In determining the fair value of this reporting unit, the Company utilized both a market multiple approach and a discounted cash flow methodology based on the adjusted cash flows from operations. The market multiple approach included applying the average earnings multiples of comparable public companies, multiplied by the forecasted earnings of the reporting unit, to yield an estimate of fair value. The discounted cash flow methodology began with the forecasted cash flows of the reporting unit and applied a discount rate of 17.5% , which reflected the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the risks inherent in the future cash flows. The forecast inherent in the valuation assumes a compound annual growth rate in revenues of 11% . As a result of the above analysis, the Company determined that the fair value of the remaining business in the Institutional Asset Management reporting unit was less than its carrying value. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 during the second quarter of 2017. Accordingly, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge in the Investment Management segment of $7,107 , which is included within Special Charges on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. This charge resulted in a decrease of $3,694 to Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. (after adjustments for noncontrolling interest and income taxes) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. In addition, during the second quarter of 2017, following a sustained period of economic and political instability in Brazil and after concluding that the expected recovery in the M&A markets in Brazil would be delayed for the foreseeable future, management of G5 Holdings S.A. ("G5 | Evercore") experienced a decline in previously forecasted advisory backlog and revised their revenue forecast. As a result, the Company performed an assessment of the carrying value of its equity interest in G5 | Evercore for other-than-temporary impairment in accordance with ASC 323-10, "Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures." In determining the fair value of its investment, the Company utilized both a market multiple approach and a discounted cash flow methodology based on the adjusted cash flows from operations. The market multiple approach included applying the average earnings multiples of comparable public companies, multiplied by the forecasted earnings of G5 | Evercore, to yield an estimate of fair value. The discounted cash flow methodology began with the forecasted cash flows of G5 | Evercore and applied a discount rate of 17.5% , which reflected the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the risks inherent in the future cash flows. The forecast inherent in the valuation assumes slight growth in revenues and earnings by the end of 2018, and, over the longer term, assumes a compound annual growth rate in revenues of 5% from the trailing twelve month period ended May 31, 2017. As a result of the above analysis, the Company determined that the fair value of its investment in G5 | Evercore was less than its carrying value and concluded this loss in value was other-than-temporary. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge in the Investment Banking segment of $14,400 , which is included in Special Charges on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, resulting in a decrease in its investment in G5 | Evercore to its fair value of $11,555 as of May 31, 2017. Acquisition and Transition Costs The Company recognized $377 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and ($329) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , as Acquisition and Transition Costs incurred in connection with acquisitions and other ongoing business development initiatives. These costs are primarily comprised of professional fees for legal and other services. In addition, in 2016 acquisition and transition costs included the reversal of $733 of a provision for certain settlements previously established in the fourth quarter of 2015. Special Charges The Company recognized $21,507 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , as Special Charges incurred related to an impairment charge of $7,107 associated with the impairment of goodwill in the Company's Institutional Asset Management reporting unit and an impairment charge of $14,400 associated with the impairment of the Company's investment in G5 | Evercore. See discussion above for further information. Intangible Asset Amortization Expense associated with the amortization of intangible assets for Investment Banking was $2,357 and $4,714 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and $2,862 and $6,077 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, included within Depreciation and Amortization expense on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations . Expense associated with the amortization of intangible assets for Investment Management was $118 and $236 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and $144 and $343 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, included within Depreciation and Amortization expense on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations .

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 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 year , as of June 30, 2017 , 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. ECB has procedures in place to monitor the daily risk limits for positions taken, as well as the credit risk based on the collateral pledged under these agreements against their contract value from inception to maturity date. The daily risk measure is Value at Risk ("VaR"), which is a statistical measure, at a 98% confidence level, of the potential daily losses from adverse market movements in an ordinary market environment based on a historical simulation using the prior year's historical data. ECB's Risk Management Committee (the "Committee") has established a policy to maintain VaR at levels below 0.1% of the value of the portfolio. If at any point in time the threshold is exceeded, ECB personnel are alerted by an automated interface with ECB's trading systems and begin to make adjustments in the portfolio in order to mitigate the risk and bring the portfolio in compliance. Concurrently, ECB personnel must notify the Committee of the variance and the actions taken to reduce the exposure to loss. In addition to monitoring VaR, ECB periodically performs discrete stress tests to assure that the level of potential losses that would arise from extreme market movements that may not be anticipated by VaR ("Stress Tests") measures are within acceptable levels. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , a summary of the Company's assets, liabilities and collateral received or pledged related to these transactions was as follows: June 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Asset (Liability) Balance Market Value of Collateral Received or (Pledged) Asset (Liability) Balance Market Value of Collateral Received or (Pledged) Assets Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value $ 17,060 $ 18,535 Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell 19,471 $ 19,440 12,585 $ 12,601 Total Assets $ 36,531 $ 31,120 Liabilities Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase $ (36,543 ) $ (36,524 ) $ (31,150 ) $ (31,155 )

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, other investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies, an equity security in a private company and investments in Glisco Manager Holdings LP and Trilantic Capital Partners ("Trilantic"). 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. The Company also has investments in G5 | Evercore, ABS Investment Management, LLC ("ABS"), Atalanta Sosnoff Capital, LLC ("Atalanta Sosnoff") and Luminis Partners ("Luminis"), which are voting interest entities. The Company's share of earnings (losses) on its investments in G5 | Evercore, ABS, Atalanta Sosnoff and Luminis 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"), Glisco Partners II, L.P. ("Glisco II"), Glisco Partners III, L.P. ("Glisco III"), 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 September 30, 2016, the Company completed the transfer of ownership and control of the Mexican Private Equity business to a newly formed entity, Glisco Partners Inc. ("Glisco"), which is controlled by the principals of the business. On December 31, 2014, ECP II was terminated. The Company's investment at June 30, 2017 of $851 is comprised of its remaining interest in the general partner, including $827 in cash and $24 in securities. In addition, as of March 31, 2017, Discovery Americas I, L.P. (the "Discovery Fund"), was fully distributed. A summary of the Company's investment in the private equity funds as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was as follows: June 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 ECP II $ 851 $ 933 Discovery Fund — 7,463 Glisco II 7,517 6,897 Glisco III 686 529 Trilantic IV 340 211 Trilantic V 5,243 5,709 Total Private Equity Funds $ 14,637 $ 21,742 Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on private equity fund investments were ($2,532) and ($2,193) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and $4,764 and $6,131 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. In the event the funds perform poorly, the Company may be obligated to repay certain carried interest previously distributed. As of June 30, 2017 , there was no previously distributed carried interest received from the Company's managed funds that was 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. The Company owned 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 . Following the Glisco transaction, the Company concluded that Glisco Capital Partners II, Glisco Capital Partners III and Glisco Manager Holdings LP are VIEs and that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company's assessment of the primary beneficiary of these entities included assessing which parties have the power to significantly impact the economic performance of these entities and the obligation to absorb losses, which could be potentially significant to the entities, or the right to receive benefits from the entities that could be potentially significant. Neither the Company nor its related parties will have the ability to make decisions that significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. Further, as a limited partner in these entities, the Company does not possess substantive participating rights. The Company had assets of $10,520 and $9,889 included in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively, related to these unconsolidated VIEs, representing the carrying value of the Company's investments in the entities. The Company's exposure to the obligations of these VIEs is generally limited to its investments in these entities. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as of June 30, 2017 was $12,869 , which represents the carrying value of the Company's investments in these VIEs, as well as any unfunded commitments to the current funds. Investment in Trilantic Capital Partners In 2010, the Company made a limited partnership investment in Trilantic in exchange for 500 Class A limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("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.

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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are based on 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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 : June 30, 2017 Level I Level II Level III Total Corporate Bonds, Municipal Bonds and Other Debt Securities (1) $ — $ 43,664 $ — $ 43,664 Securities Investments (1) 4,411 1,825 — 6,236 Investment Funds 25,264 — — 25,264 Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value 17,060 — — 17,060 Total Assets Measured At Fair Value $ 46,735 $ 45,489 $ — $ 92,224 December 31, 2016 Level I Level II Level III Total Corporate Bonds, Municipal Bonds and Other Debt Securities (1) $ — $ 44,630 $ — $ 44,630 Securities Investments (1) 3,794 1,728 — 5,522 Investment Funds 25,508 — — 25,508 Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value 18,535 — — 18,535 Total Assets Measured At Fair Value $ 47,837 $ 46,358 $ — $ 94,195 (1) Includes $15,770 and $9,173 of treasury bills, municipal bonds and commercial paper classified within Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. 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 six months ended June 30, 2017 or the year ended December 31, 2016 . During the second quarter of 2017, the Company determined that the fair value of the Institutional Asset Management reporting unit was $14,401 . The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated by utilizing both a market multiple approach and a discounted cash flow methodology based on the adjusted cash flows from operations. Goodwill is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as a Level III asset. See Note 4 for further information. In addition, during the second quarter of 2017, the Company determined that the fair value of its equity method investment in G5 | Evercore was $11,555 . The fair value of the investment was estimated by utilizing both a market multiple approach and a discounted cash flow methodology based on the adjusted cash flows from operations. The equity method investment is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as a Level III asset. See Note 4 for further information. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company determined that the fair value of its equity method investment in Atalanta Sosnoff was $14,730 . The fair value of the investment was estimated by utilizing both a market multiple approach and a discounted cash flow methodology based on the adjusted cash flows from operations. The equity method investment was measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as a Level III asset. 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.

Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. Common Shareholders	Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. Common Shareholders The calculations of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are described and presented below. For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Basic Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. Common Shareholders Numerator: Net income attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders $ 18,184 $ 24,087 $ 98,955 $ 29,405 Denominator: Weighted average Class A Shares outstanding, including vested restricted stock units ("RSUs") 40,109 39,249 40,294 39,435 Basic net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders $ 0.45 $ 0.61 $ 2.46 $ 0.75 Diluted Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. Common Shareholders Numerator: Net income attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders $ 18,184 $ 24,087 $ 98,955 $ 29,405 Noncontrolling interest related to the assumed exchange of LP Units for Class A Shares (a) (a) (a) (a) Associated corporate taxes related to the assumed elimination of Noncontrolling Interest described above (a) (a) (a) (a) Diluted net income attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders $ 18,184 $ 24,087 $ 98,955 $ 29,405 Denominator: Weighted average Class A Shares outstanding, including vested RSUs 40,109 39,249 40,294 39,435 Assumed exchange of LP Units for Class A Shares (a) (a) (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 2,058 1,569 2,468 1,728 Shares that are contingently issuable (b) 2,539 2,785 2,557 3,098 Diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding 44,706 43,603 45,319 44,261 Diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders $ 0.41 $ 0.55 $ 2.18 $ 0.66 (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 and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , 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 6,005 and 6,051 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and 6,499 and 6,456 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , 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 $2,728 and $14,118 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and $3,952 and $5,263 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all vested Class A LP Units and all Class E limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("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 Class A and E LP Units will result in a dilutive computation in future periods. (b) At June 30, 2017 and 2016 , the Company has outstanding Class G and H limited partnership interests of Evercore LP ("Class G and H LP Interests") which are contingently exchangeable into Class E LP Units, and ultimately Class A Shares, as well as outstanding Class I-P units of Evercore LP ("Class I-P Units") which are contingently exchangeable into Class I limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class I 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 and Class I-P LP Units 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. The Interests/Units that were assumed to be converted to an equal number of Class A Shares for purposes of computing diluted EPS were 2,539 and 2,557 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and 2,785 and 3,098 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. 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.

The Company's vested Class G and Class H LP Interests will become exchangeable into Class A Shares of the Company subject to the achievement of certain performance targets. The Company's vested Class G LP Interests 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 LP 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. In the event of death, disability or termination of employment without cause, unvested Class G and H LP Interests will be canceled or may vest based on determination of expected performance, based on a decision by Management. In February 2017 and 2016, 368 and 371 Class G LP Interests achieved their performance targets and were converted to the same number of Class E LP Units, respectively. Based on Evercore ISI's results for the first six months of 2017 as well as the Company's revised outlook for the Evercore ISI business, including strategic decisions to increase the compensation ratio for this business, the Company determined that the achievement of the remaining performance thresholds for the remaining Class G LP Interests was no longer probable at March 31, 2017 or June 30, 2017 and that the achievement of the remaining performance thresholds for certain of the Class H LP Interests was probable at June 30, 2017 . This determination assumes a Management Basis EBIT margin of 11.7% and an annual Management Basis EBIT of $26,904 being achieved in 2017 and a Management Basis EBIT margin of 14.0% and an annual Management Basis EBIT of $34,357 being achieved in 2018 and 2019 for Evercore ISI, which would result in 2,005 Class H LP Interests vesting and becoming exchangeable into Class E LP Units. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company had determined that the achievement of certain of the remaining performance thresholds for the Class G and H LP Interests was probable and assumed a Management Basis EBIT margin of 16.2% and an annual Management Basis EBIT of $38,820 being achieved over the performance period for Evercore ISI. Accordingly, $11,324 of expense was recorded and $14,900 of expense was reversed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and $15,698 and $41,750 of expense was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, for the Class G and H LP Interests. The life to date actual accrued expense related to unvested Class H LP Interests as of June 30, 2017 was $67,582 , which would be reversed if the actual performance fell below, or is deemed probable of falling below, the minimum thresholds prior to vesting. Conversely, assuming the maximum thresholds for the Class G and H LP Interests were considered probable of achievement at June 30, 2017 , an additional $86,915 of expense would have been incurred in the second quarter ended June 30, 2017 and the remaining expense to be accrued over the future vesting period extending from July 1, 2017 to February 15, 2020 would be $78,515 . In that circumstance, the total number of remaining Class G and H LP Interests that would vest and become exchangeable to Class E LP Units would be 4,514 . During the first quarter of 2017, the Company modified the terms of 19 Class E LP Units, 14 Class G LP Interests and 162 Class H LP Interests. The modification resulted in expense of $6,554 and $3,532 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , reflecting the reversal of all previous expense related to these awards and the subsequent amortization of the awards at the modified grant date fair value of $14,891 . These awards were amortized ratably through June 30, 2017. In July 2017, the Company exchanged all of the outstanding 4,148 Class H LP Interests for 1,012 vested and 938 unvested Class J limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class J LP Units"). These units will convert into an equal number of Class E LP Units, and ultimately become exchangeable into Class A Shares of the Company, ratably on February 15, 2018, 2019 and 2020. These Class J LP Units have the same vesting and delivery schedule, acceleration and forfeiture triggers, and distribution rights as the Class H LP Interests. In connection with this exchange, one share of Class B common stock has been issued to each holder of Class J LP Units, which will entitle each holder one vote on all matters submitted generally to holders of Class A and Class B common stock for each Class E LP Unit and Class J LP Unit held. As the number of Class J LP Units exchanged was within the number of Class H LP Interests that the Company determined were probable of being exchanged on the date of modification, the Company will expense the previously unrecognized fair value of the Class H LP Interests of $36,189 ratably over the remaining vesting period. Stock Incentive Plan During 2016, the Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Partners Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan"). The 2016 Plan, among other things, authorizes an additional 10,000 shares of the Company's Class A Shares. The 2016 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 Company intends to use newly-issued Class A Shares to satisfy any awards under the 2016 Plan and its predecessor plan. Class A Shares underlying any award granted under the 2016 Plan that expire, terminate or are canceled or satisfied for any reason without being settled in stock again become available for awards under the plans. The total shares available to be granted in the future under the 2016 Plan was 7,423 as of June 30, 2017 . The Company also grants, at its discretion, dividend equivalents, in the form of unvested RSU awards, or cash dividends, 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. The Company estimates forfeitures in the aggregate compensation cost to be amortized over the requisite service period of its awards. The Company periodically monitors its estimated forfeiture rate and adjusts its assumptions to the actual occurrence of forfeited awards. A change in estimated forfeitures is recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of the change. Equity Grants During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , pursuant to the 2016 Plan, the Company granted employees 2,580 RSUs that are Service-based Awards. Service-based Awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2017 had grant date fair values of $69.10 to $81.52 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , 2,335 Service-based Awards vested and 98 Service-based Awards were forfeited. Compensation expense related to Service-based Awards was $39,497 and $78,239 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and $28,516 and $57,278 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. Executive Chairman In November 2016, in conjunction with the appointment of the Executive Chairman, the Company issued the following awards: The Company granted a restricted cash award with a target payment amount of $35,000 , of which $11,000 is scheduled to vest on March 1, 2019 and $6,000 is scheduled to vest on each of the first four anniversaries of March 1, 2019, provided that the Executive Chairman continues to remain employed through each such vesting date, subject to vesting upon specified termination events (including retirement, upon satisfying certain eligibility criteria, on or following May 1, 2019, subject to a six month prior written notice requirement) or a change in control. The Company has the discretion to increase (by an amount up to $35,000 ) or decrease (by an amount up to $8,750 ) the total amount payable under this award. Compensation expense related to this award was $1,202 and $2,390 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. The Company granted 900 RSUs with a grant date fair value of $65.38 per share, of which 18% vested on December 31, 2016 and were fully expensed during the year ended December 31, 2016. An additional 14% of these RSUs vest on each of March 1, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, and 26% on March 1, 2022, provided that the Executive Chairman continues to remain employed through the applicable vesting date, subject to vesting upon specified termination events (including retirement, upon satisfying certain eligibility criteria, on or following January 15, 2022, subject to a one year prior written notice requirement) or a change in control. These awards will be expensed ratably over the remaining vesting period. Compensation expense, included in compensation expense related to Service-based Awards above, related to this award was $2,328 and $4,630 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. The Company issued 400 Class I-P Units. These Class I-P Units convert into a specified number of Class I LP Units, which are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis to Class A Shares, contingent on the achievement of certain market and service conditions, subject to vesting upon specified termination events (including retirement, upon satisfying certain eligibility criteria, on or following January 15, 2022, subject to a one year prior written notice requirement) or a change in control. These Class I-P Units are segregated into two groups of 200 units each, with share price threshold vesting conditions which are required to exceed a certain level for 20 consecutive trading days (which were met as of March 31, 2017). The Company determined the fair value of the award to be $24,412 and is expensing the award ratably over the implied service period, which ends on March 1, 2022. As the award contains market-based conditions, the entire expense will be recognized if the award does not vest for any reason other than the service conditions. Compensation expense related to this award was $1,152 and $2,291 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. Deferred Cash Compensation Program The Company's deferred cash compensation program provided 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. The Company granted $3,750 , $41,147 and $3,926 of deferred cash awards pursuant to the deferred cash compensation program during 2017, 2016 and 2012, respectively. Compensation expense related to this deferred cash compensation program was $4,221 and $7,430 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and $4,557 and $7,117 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. Long-term Incentive Plan The Company's Long-term Incentive Plan provides for incentive compensation awards to Advisory Senior Managing Directors, excluding executive officers of the Company, who exceed defined benchmark results over four -year performance periods beginning January 1, 2013 and January 1, 2017. These awards, which aggregate $43,241 of liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2017, will be paid, in cash or Class A Shares, at the Company's discretion, in three equal installments in the first quarter of 2017, 2018 and 2019 (for the performance period beginning on January 1, 2013) and in the first quarter of 2021, 2022 and 2023 (for the performance period beginning on January 1, 2017), subject to employment 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 $6,700 and $12,558 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and $3,739 and $7,478 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. In conjunction with this plan, the Company distributed cash payments of $19,401 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 . Employee Loans Receivable 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 $4,857 and $9,030 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and $5,699 and $10,531 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. The remaining unamortized amount of these awards was $28,028 as of June 30, 2017 .

See Note 8 for further information. Lines of Credit On June 24, 2016, Evercore Partners Services East L.L.C. ("East") entered into a loan agreement with PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC") for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30,000 , to be used for working capital and other corporate activities. This facility is secured by East's accounts receivable and the proceeds therefrom, as well as certain assets of EGL, including certain of EGL's accounts receivable. In addition, the agreement contains certain reporting covenants as well as certain debt covenants that prohibit East and the Company from incurring other indebtedness subject to specified exceptions. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2017 . Drawings under this facility bear interest at the prime rate. On February 2, 2017, East drew down $30,000 on this facility, which was repaid on March 10, 2017 . The facility was renewed on June 14, 2017, and the maturity date was extended to June 22, 2018.

Contingencies In the normal course of business, from time to time the Company and its affiliates are involved in judicial or regulatory proceedings, arbitration or mediation concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses, including contractual and employment matters. In addition, Mexican, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, 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. On September 19, 2016, EGL was named as a defendant in the First Amended and Supplemented Verified Class Action Complaint (the "Complaint"), filed in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware in a case entitled City of Daytona Beach Police and Fire Pension Fund v. ExamWorks Group, Inc., et al. (C.A. No. 12481-VCL).

The Complaint seeks certification as a class action and unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and attorneys' fees. The parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the case prior to trial which would result in no liability to EGL. The settlement is subject to court approval.

The effective tax rate for 2017 and 2016 also reflects the effect of certain nondeductible expenses, including expenses related to Class E LP Units and Class G and H LP Interests, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units and other adjustments. In addition, the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was impacted by a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to Evercore Brazil.

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, 2016 . The December 31, 2016 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, 2017. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP's wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. ("EGL"), a registered broker-dealer in the U.S. The Company's policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. 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 2015, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-02, "Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis," ("ASU 2015-02") was issued. This ASU eliminates the deferral of ASU No. 2010-10, "Amendments for Certain Investment Funds," which allows reporting entities with interests in certain investment funds to follow the consolidation guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 810, "Consolidation," ("ASC 810") and makes other changes to the variable interest model and the voting model. ASU 2015-02 modifies the evaluation performed by reporting entities on limited partnerships and similar entities and also impacts the evaluation performed by reporting entities on VIE determination, and determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The Company adopted ASU 2015-02 on January 1, 2016. Pursuant to the provisions of ASU 2015-02, Evercore LP is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2015-02, the Company consolidated Evercore LP as a voting interest entity. Specifically, the Company has the majority economic interest in Evercore LP and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity while the limited partners have no kick-out or substantive participating rights. The assets and liabilities of Evercore LP represent substantially all of the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company with the exception of U.S. corporate taxes and related items, which are presented on the Company's (Parent Company Only) Condensed Statements of Financial Position in Note 23 to the Company's consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . International Strategy & Investment (U.K.) Limited ("ISI U.K.") is also a VIE pursuant to ASC 810 and the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE. Specifically, the Company provides financial support through a transfer pricing agreement with this entity, which exposes the Company to losses that are potentially significant to the entity, and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity. Following the adoption of ASU 2015-02, the Company also concluded that Evercore Partners International LLP ("Evercore U.K.") is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE. The Company has the majority economic interest in Evercore U.K. and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of this entity. The Company included in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition ISI U.K. and Evercore U.K. assets of $119,253 and liabilities of $85,848 at June 30, 2017 and assets of $116,958 and liabilities of $90,260 at December 31, 2016. All intercompany balances and transactions with the Company's subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are described and presented below. For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Basic Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. Common Shareholders Numerator: Net income attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders $ 18,184 $ 24,087 $ 98,955 $ 29,405 Denominator: Weighted average Class A Shares outstanding, including vested restricted stock units ("RSUs") 40,109 39,249 40,294 39,435 Basic net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders $ 0.45 $ 0.61 $ 2.46 $ 0.75 Diluted Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. Common Shareholders Numerator: Net income attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders $ 18,184 $ 24,087 $ 98,955 $ 29,405 Noncontrolling interest related to the assumed exchange of LP Units for Class A Shares (a) (a) (a) (a) Associated corporate taxes related to the assumed elimination of Noncontrolling Interest described above (a) (a) (a) (a) Diluted net income attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders $ 18,184 $ 24,087 $ 98,955 $ 29,405 Denominator: Weighted average Class A Shares outstanding, including vested RSUs 40,109 39,249 40,294 39,435 Assumed exchange of LP Units for Class A Shares (a) (a) (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 2,058 1,569 2,468 1,728 Shares that are contingently issuable (b) 2,539 2,785 2,557 3,098 Diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding 44,706 43,603 45,319 44,261 Diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders $ 0.41 $ 0.55 $ 2.18 $ 0.66 (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 and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , 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 6,005 and 6,051 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and 6,499 and 6,456 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , 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 $2,728 and $14,118 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and $3,952 and $5,263 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all vested Class A LP Units and all Class E limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("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 Class A and E LP Units will result in a dilutive computation in future periods. (b) At June 30, 2017 and 2016 , the Company has outstanding Class G and H limited partnership interests of Evercore LP ("Class G and H LP Interests") which are contingently exchangeable into Class E LP Units, and ultimately Class A Shares, as well as outstanding Class I-P units of Evercore LP ("Class I-P Units") which are contingently exchangeable into Class I limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class I 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 and Class I-P LP Units 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. The Interests/Units that were assumed to be converted to an equal number of Class A Shares for purposes of computing diluted EPS were 2,539 and 2,557 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and 2,785 and 3,098 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively.
