Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP's wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. ("EGL"), 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. 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. The Company previously concluded that Evercore Asia Limited ("Evercore Asia") and Evercore Asia (Singapore) PTE. LTD. ("Evercore Singapore") were also VIEs; on July 1, 2016, the Company terminated the transfer pricing arrangements with Evercore Asia and Evercore Singapore. The Company viewed this modification as a reconsideration event under ASC 810-10 and concluded that Evercore Asia and Evercore Singapore are not VIEs and will continue to be consolidated as voting interest entities. 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 Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition ISI U.K. and Evercore U.K. assets of $116,958 and liabilities of $90,260 at December 31, 2016 and Evercore Asia, Evercore Singapore, ISI U.K. and Evercore U.K. assets of $151,583 and liabilities of $110,424 at December 31, 2015. See Note 9 for further information on the Company's VIEs. All intercompany balances and transactions with the Company's subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation. At the time of the formation transaction, the members of Evercore LP (the "Members") received Class A limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class A LP Units") in consideration for their contribution of the various entities included in the historical combined financial statements of the Company. The Class A LP Units were subject to vesting requirements and transfer restrictions and are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock ("Class A Shares"). At December 31, 2013, all Class A LP Units were fully vested. On October 31, 2014, in conjunction with the acquisition of the operating businesses of International Strategy & Investment ("ISI"), the Company issued vested and unvested Class E limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class E LP Units") and vested and unvested Class G and H limited partnership interests of Evercore LP ("Class G and H LP Interests"). In November 2016, in conjunction with the appointment of the Executive Chairman, the Company issued unvested Class I-P Units of Evercore LP ("Class I-P Units"). The Class I-P Units are contingently exchangeable into Class I limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class I LP Units"), which are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis for Class A Shares. See Note 17 for further information. The Company accounts for exchanges of Evercore LP partnership units ("LP Units") for Class A Shares based on the carrying amounts of the Members' LP Units immediately before the exchange. The Company's interest in Evercore LP is within the scope of ASC 810-20, " Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights" . The Company consolidates Evercore LP and records noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in Evercore LP held directly by others, which includes the Members. Accounts Receivable – Accounts Receivable consists primarily of investment banking fees and expense reimbursements charged to the Company's clients. The Company records Accounts Receivable net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide coverage for estimated losses from its client receivables. The Company determines the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on the Company's analysis of the client's creditworthiness and specifically reserves against exposure where the Company determines the receivables are impaired, which may include situations where a fee is in dispute or litigation has commenced. Furniture, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements – Fixed assets, including equipment, hardware and software and leasehold improvements, are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Furniture, equipment and computer hardware and software are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, primarily ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life of the asset. Investment Banking Revenue – The Company earns investment banking fees from clients for providing advisory services on strategic matters, including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, leveraged buyouts, restructurings and similar corporate finance matters. The Company's Investment Banking services also include services related to securities underwriting, private placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. It is the Company's accounting policy to recognize revenue when (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement with a client, (ii) fees are fixed or determinable, (iii) the agreed-upon services have been completed and delivered to the client or the transaction or events contemplated in the engagement letter are determined to be substantially completed and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. The Company records Investment Banking Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the following: Advisory Fees – In general, advisory fees are paid at the time the Company signs an engagement letter, during the course of the engagement or when an engagement is completed. In some circumstances, and as a function of the terms of an engagement letter, the Company may receive retainer fees for financial advisory services concurrent with, or soon after, the execution of the engagement letter where the engagement letter will specify a future service period associated with that fee. In such circumstances, these retainer fees are initially recorded as deferred revenue, which is recorded in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and subsequently recognized as advisory fee revenue in Investment Banking Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the applicable time period within which the service is rendered. Revenues related to fairness or valuation opinions are recognized when the opinion has been rendered and delivered to the client and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied. Success fees for advisory services, such as merger and acquisition advice, are recognized when the transaction(s) or event(s) are determined to be completed and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied. In the event the Company was to receive an opinion or success fee in advance of the completion conditions noted above, such fee would initially be recorded as deferred revenue in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and subsequently recognized as advisory fee revenue in Investment Banking Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the conditions of completion have been satisfied. Placement Fees – Placement fee revenues are attributable to capital raising on both a primary and secondary basis. The Company recognizes placement advisory fees at the time of the client's acceptance of capital or capital commitments in accordance with the terms of the engagement letter. Underwriting Fees – Underwriting fees are attributable to public and private offerings of equity and debt securities and are recognized when the offering has been deemed to be completed by the lead manager of the underwriting group. When the offering is completed, the Company recognizes the applicable management fee, selling concession and underwriting fee, the latter net of estimated offering expenses. Commissions and Related Fees – Commissions and Related Fees include commissions received from customers for the execution of agency-based brokerage transactions in listed and over-the-counter equities and are recorded on a trade-date basis or, in the case of payments under commission sharing arrangements, when earned. The Company earns subscription fees for the sales of research. Cash received before the subscription period ends is initially recorded as deferred revenue in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and is recognized in Investment Banking Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related services are rendered. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Investment Management Revenue – The Company's Investment Management business generates revenues from the management of client assets and the private equity funds. Investment management fees for third-party clients are generally based on the value of the assets under management and any performance fees that may be negotiated with the client. These fees are generally recognized over the period that the related services are provided, based upon the beginning, ending or average value of the assets for the relevant period. Fees paid in advance of services rendered are initially recorded as deferred revenue, which is recorded in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and are recognized in Investment Management Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related service is rendered. Generally, to the extent performance fee arrangements have been negotiated, these fees are earned when the return on assets exceeds certain benchmark returns. Management fees for private equity funds are contractual and are typically based on committed capital during the private equity funds' investment period, and on invested capital, thereafter. Management fees are recognized ratably over the period during which services are provided. The management fees may provide for a management fee offset for certain portfolio company fees the Company earns. The Company also records performance fee revenue from the private equity funds when the returns on the private equity funds' investments exceed certain threshold minimums. These performance fees, or carried interest, are computed in accordance with the underlying private equity funds' partnership agreements and are based on investment performance over the life of each investment partnership. Historically, the Company recorded performance fee revenue from its managed private equity funds when the private equity funds' investment values exceeded certain threshold minimums. During 2014, the Company changed its method of recording performance fees such that the Company records performance fees upon the earlier of the termination of the investment fund or when the likelihood of clawback is mathematically improbable. This method is considered the more preferable of the two methods accepted under ASC 605-20-S99-1. Fees generated for serving as an independent fiduciary and/or trustee are either based on a flat fee, are pre-negotiated with the client or are based on the value of assets under administration. For ongoing engagements, fees are billed quarterly either in advance or in arrears. Fees paid in advance of services rendered are initially recorded as deferred revenue in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and are recognized in Investment Management Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related services are rendered. Other Revenue, Including Interest and Interest Expense – Other Revenue, Including Interest and Interest Expense is derived primarily from financing transactions. These transactions are principally repurchases and resales of Mexican government securities. Revenue and expenses associated with these transactions are recognized over the term of the repurchase transaction. Other Revenue, Including Interest and Interest Expense also includes interest expense associated with the Notes Payable, subordinated borrowings and the line of credit and other financing arrangements, as well as income (losses) on marketable securities and cash deposited with financial institutions and changes in amounts due pursuant to the Company's tax receivable agreements. Client Expense Reimbursement – In the conduct of its financial advisory service engagements and in advising the private equity funds, the Company receives reimbursement for certain expenses incurred by the Company on behalf of its clients and the funds. Transaction-related expenses, which are billable to clients, are recognized as revenue and recorded in Accounts Receivable on the later of the date of an executed engagement letter or the date the expense is incurred. Noncontrolling Interest – Noncontrolling interest recorded in the consolidated financial statements of the Company relates to the portions of the subsidiaries not owned by the Company. The Company allocates net income to noncontrolling interests held at Evercore LP and at the operating entity level, where required, by multiplying the relative ownership interest of the noncontrolling interest holders for the period by the net income or loss for the entity which the noncontrolling interest relates. In circumstances where the governing documents of the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates require special allocations of profits (losses) to the controlling and noncontrolling interest holders, then the net income or loss of these entities is allocated based on these special allocations. ASC 810 requires reporting entities to present noncontrolling (minority) interests as equity (as opposed to as a liability or mezzanine equity) and provides guidance on the accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling Interest is presented as a component of Total Equity on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and below Net Income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, there is an allocation of the components of Total Comprehensive Income between controlling interests and noncontrolling interests. Changes in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains control of its subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of short-term highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The majority of the Company's assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value or at amounts that approximate fair value. Such assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, investments, marketable securities, financial instruments owned and pledged as collateral, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, receivables and payables and accruals. See Note 10 for further information. Marketable Securities – Marketable Securities include investments in corporate, municipal and other debt securities, as well as investments in readily-marketable equity securities, which are accounted for as available-for-sale under ASC 320-10, " Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." These securities are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as net increases or decreases to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), net of tax, while realized gains and losses on these securities are determined using the specific identification method and are included in Other Revenue, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The readily-marketable debt and equity securities are valued using quoted market prices on applicable exchanges or markets. Marketable Securities also include investments in municipal bonds held at EGL and exchange traded funds and mutual funds, which are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in Other Revenues, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Marketable Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value – The Company's Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value consist principally of foreign government obligations, which are recorded on a trade-date basis and are stated at quoted market values. Related gains and losses are reflected in Other Revenue, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company pledges the Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value to collateralize certain financing arrangements, which permits the counterparty to pledge the securities. Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase – Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase are treated as collateralized financing transactions. The agreements provide that the transferor will receive substantially the same securities in return at the maturity of the agreement. These transactions are carried at the amounts at which the related securities will be subsequently resold or repurchased, plus accrued interest payable or receivable. As the maturities on these transactions are short-term in nature (i.e. mature on the next business day) and the underlying securities are debt instruments of the Mexican Governments or its agencies, their carrying amounts approximate fair value. The Company periodically assesses the collectability or credit quality related to securities purchased under agreements to resell. Investments – The Company's investments include investments in private equity partnerships, the Company's equity interests in G5 Holdings S.A. ("G5 ǀ Evercore"), ABS Investment Management, LLC ("ABS") and Atalanta Sosnoff Capital, LLC ("Atalanta Sosnoff") (after its deconsolidation on December 31, 2015), which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. In addition, the Company holds an equity security in a private company and maintains investments in Glisco Manager Holdings LP and Trilantic Capital Partners ("Trilantic"), which are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. See Note 9 for further information. Private Equity – The investments of private equity funds consist primarily of investments in marketable and non-marketable securities of the portfolio companies. The underlying investments held by the private equity funds are valued based on quoted market prices or estimated fair value if there is no public market. The Company determines fair value of non-marketable securities by giving consideration to a range of factors, including but not limited to, market conditions, operating performance (current and projected) and subsequent financing transactions. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation of these non-marketable securities, estimated values may materially differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for these investments. Investments in publicly-traded securities held by the private equity funds are valued using quoted market prices. The Company recognizes its allocable share of the changes in fair value of the private equity funds' underlying investments as realized and unrealized gains (losses) within Investment Management Revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Affiliates – The Company's equity interests in G5 ǀ Evercore, ABS and Atalanta Sosnoff (after its deconsolidation on December 31, 2015) include its share of the income (losses) within Income (Loss) from Equity Method Investments, as a component of Income Before Income Taxes, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company assesses its Equity Method Investments annually for impairment, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. See Note 4 for further information. The Company also maintains investments in Glisco Manager Holdings LP and Trilantic. See Note 9 for further information. Goodwill and Intangible Assets – Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, as of November 30 th , or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The Company assesses whether any goodwill recorded by its applicable reporting unit is impaired by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its respective carrying amount. For acquired businesses, contingent consideration is recognized and measured at fair value as of the acquisition date and at subsequent reporting periods. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable as prescribed by ASC 360, " Property, Plant, and Equipment" ("ASC 360"). The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. In determining the fair value for each reporting unit the Company utilizes either a market multiple approach or a discounted cash flow methodology based on the adjusted cash flows from operations, or a weighted combination of both a market multiple approach and discounted cash flow methodology. The market multiple approach includes applying the average earnings multiples of comparable public companies for their respective reporting unit multiplied by the forecasted earnings of the respective reporting unit to yield an estimate of fair value. The discounted cash flow methodology begins with the forecasted adjusted cash flows from each of the reporting units and uses a discount rate that reflects the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the risks inherent in the future cash flows. See Note 4 for further information. Compensation and Benefits – Compensation includes salaries, bonuses (discretionary awards and guaranteed amounts), severance, deferred cash and share-based compensation. Cash bonuses are accrued over the respective service periods to which they relate and deferred cash and share-based bonuses are expensed prospectively over their requisite service period. Share-Based Payments –The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718, " Compensation – Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). See Note 17 for further information. Compensation expense recognized pursuant to share-based awards is based on the grant date fair value of the award. The fair value (as measured on the grant date) of awards that vest from one to five years ("Service-based Awards") is amortized over the vesting periods or requisite service periods as required under ASC 718, however, the vesting of some Service-based Awards will accelerate upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company amortizes the grant-date fair value of share-based compensation awards made to employees, who are or will become retirement eligible prior to the stated vesting date, over the expected substantive service period. For the purposes of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders, unvested Service-based Awards are included in the diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. Once vested, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and restricted stock are included in the basic and diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding. Expense relating to RSUs and restricted stock is charged to Employee Compensation and Benefits within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Compensation expense is recognized pursuant to performance-based awards if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. See Note 17 for a discussion of the awards issued in conjunction with the Company's acquisition of the operating businesses of ISI, as well as the Company's Long-term Incentive Plan. Awards classified as liabilities as required under ASC 718, such as cash settled share-based awards, are re-measured at fair value at each reporting period. Foreign Currency Translation – Foreign currency assets and liabilities have been translated at rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the periods presented. Income and expenses transacted in foreign currency have been translated at average monthly exchange rates during the period. Translation gains and losses are included in the foreign currency translation adjustment as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Exchange gains and losses arising from translating intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature are recorded in the foreign currency translation account while transactional exchange gains and losses are included in Other Revenue, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Income Taxes –The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, " Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"), which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of its assets and liabilities, as disclosed in Note 20. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse. Such temporary differences are reflected on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company's provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against the Company's net deferred tax assets. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-17, " Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes" ("ASU 2015-17") prospectively as of December 31, 2015 and changed its presentation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities on its Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition such that the Company classifies all deferred income tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. Historically, the Company presented deferred income tax assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"), effective January 1, 2017, which provides amendments to ASC No. 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation." ASU 2016-09 requires that the tax deduction associated with the appreciation in the Company's share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price be reflected in income tax expense. See Note 3 for further information. The application of ASU 2016-09 resulted in excess tax benefits from the delivery of Class A Shares under share-based payment arrangements being recognized prospectively in the Company's Provision for Income Taxes, 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 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. ASC 740 provides a benefit recognition model with a two-step approach consisting of "more-likely-than-not" recognition criteria, and a measurement attribute that measures the position as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also requires the recognition of liabilities created by differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements. See Note 20 for further information.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU 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 currently 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 certain 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. The effect of accelerated revenue recognition could be material to any given reporting period. In addition, 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 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 adoption of ASU 2014-12 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. The amendments in this update are effective either prospectively or retrospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-01 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto. ASU 2015-02 - In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, " Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis" ("ASU 2015-02"). ASU 2015-02 provides amendments to ASC 810, which include the following: 1. Modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, 2. Eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, 3. Affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, and 4. Provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto. See Note 2 for further information. ASU 2015-03 - In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" ("ASU 2015-03"). ASU 2015-03 provides amendments to Subtopic 835-30, "Interest - Imputation of Interest," which require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendments in this update are effective retrospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto. ASU 2015-05 - In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, " Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement" ("ASU 2015-05"). ASU 2015-05 provides amendments to ASC No. 350, " Intangibles - Goodwill and Other," Subtopic 350-40, "Internal-Use Software" which help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement and determine whether an arrangement includes the sale or license of software. The amendments in this update are effective either prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or retrospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-05 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto. ASU 2015-16 - In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, " Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments" ("ASU 2015-16"). ASU 2015-16 provides amendments to ASC No. 805, " Business Combinations," which simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination by eliminating the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments and require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments also require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto. 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 currently 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 18, 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 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 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 Company adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017. The application of ASU 2016-09 resulted in excess tax benefits from the delivery of Class A Shares under share-based payment arrangements being recognized prospectively in the Company's Provision for Income Taxes, 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 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 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. 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 currently 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 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 Changes and Developments	Business Changes and Developments Atalanta Sosnoff 2016 Transaction - During the fourth quarter of 2016, the founding member of Atalanta Sosnoff announced his intent to retire and entered into an agreement to sell all of his Series A-2 Capital Interests and Series B Capital Interests back to Atalanta Sosnoff. Concurrently, select members of Atalanta Sosnoff received Series C Capital Interests. The Company continues to own Series A-1 Capital Interests, representing a 49% economic interest. Following these transactions, the Company continues to hold a noncontrolling voting interest in the Management Committee of Atalanta Sosnoff, and accordingly continues to account for its interest in Atalanta Sosnoff as an equity method investment. In addition, as a result of these transactions, the Company performed an assessment of the carrying value of its equity interest in Atalanta Sosnoff 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 Atalanta Sosnoff, to yield an estimate of fair value. The discounted cash flow methodology began with the forecasted cash flows of Atalanta Sosnoff and applied a discount rate of 15.5% , 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 growth in revenues and earnings by the end of 2018, and, over the longer term, assumes a compound annual growth rate in revenues of 6% from the trailing twelve month period ended November 30, 2016. As a result of the above analysis, the Company determined that the fair value of its investment in Atalanta Sosnoff was less than its carrying value as of November 30, 2016. The Company concluded this loss in value was other-than-temporary. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $8,100 , in Special Charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016, resulting in an investment in Atalanta Sosnoff at its fair value of $14,730 as of November 30, 2016. This charge resulted in a decrease of $3,980 to Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc. (after adjustments for noncontrolling interest and income taxes) for the year ended December 31, 2016. Atalanta Sosnoff 2015 Transaction - On December 31, 2015, the Operating Agreement of Atalanta Sosnoff was amended such that, following the amendment, the Company is entitled to one of the three seats on the Management Committee of Atalanta Sosnoff, which is the governing committee with decision making power over Atalanta Sosnoff's operations (previously the Company held three out of five seats on the Management Committee). In addition, Atalanta Sosnoff exchanged the profits interests held by key employees for Series A-3 and A-4 Capital Interests. The Series A-4 Capital Interests remain profits interests for accounting purposes since they entitle the holder to distributions of future profits and are subject to forfeiture. Following the amendments, the Company continued to own Series A-1 Capital Interests, representing a 49% economic interest. Excluding the remaining profits interests, the Company's equity interest in Atalanta Sosnoff was 56.3% at December 31, 2015. The 2015 amendments to the Operating Agreement gave the Company a noncontrolling voting interest in the Management Committee of Atalanta Sosnoff. The Management Committee of Atalanta Sosnoff controls the operations of Atalanta Sosnoff, including actions such as the appointment and termination of key management members of Atalanta Sosnoff, the approval of Atalanta Sosnoff's budget, as well as any material expenditure outside of its budget, the launch of new products or material changes in the pricing of existing products, and entering or exiting lines of business. Responsibility for the day-to-day operations remains with the management of Atalanta Sosnoff, including managing client relationships and making discretionary investment decisions. The Company, through the supermajority voting rights of the Management Committee, retains customary protective rights over specified matters that may arise outside of the ordinary course of business and/or where the probability of occurrence is remote. As a result of the above amendments, the Company deconsolidated the assets and liabilities of Atalanta Sosnoff of $4,726 and $2,074 , respectively, at December 31, 2015, and accounted for its interest in Atalanta Sosnoff as an equity method investment from that date forward. See Note 9 for further information. Furthermore, this resulted in a decrease in Goodwill in the Company's Institutional Asset Management reporting unit, in the Investment Management segment, of $27,274 , as well as a decrease in Intangible Assets of $13,924 , Noncontrolling Interest of $16,090 and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest of $2,683 at December 31, 2015. In addition, the amendments resulted in a charge related to the conversion of certain of Atalanta Sosnoff's profits interests held by key employees to equity of $6,333 and a loss on deconsolidation of $812 , each included in Special Charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2015. Glisco Transaction - On July 19, 2016, the Company and the principals of its Mexican Private Equity business entered into an agreement to transfer ownership of its Mexican Private Equity business and related entities to Glisco Partners Inc. ("Glisco"), which assumed all responsibility for the management of the existing funds Glisco Partners II, L.P. ("Glisco II," formerly Evercore Mexico Capital Partners II, L.P., or EMCP II) and Glisco Partners III, L.P. ("Glisco III," formerly Evercore Mexico Capital Partners III, L.P., or EMCP III), and is controlled by the principals. These principals ceased to be employed by the Company following this transaction. A Senior Managing Director of the Company will continue to serve on the Investment Committee for the funds. This transaction received consent from the Limited Partner Advisory Committee of the funds and regulatory approval in Mexico during the third quarter of 2016 and closed on September 30, 2016. As consideration for this transaction, the Company will receive a fixed percentage of the management fees earned by Glisco for a period of up to ten years , as well as a portion of the carried interest in the next two successor funds. The Company committed to invest capital in those successor funds consistent with the level of carried interest it owns and will retain its carried interest and its capital interests in the existing funds. The Company is entitled to 20% of the carried interest in such successor funds. In conjunction with this transaction, the Company entered into a transition services agreement to provide operational support to Glisco for a period of up to 18 months . Following this transaction, the Company ceased to have a general partner's interest in and deconsolidated Glisco Capital Partners II and III ("GCP II" and "GCP III," formerly Evercore Mexico Partners II and III), the general partners of Glisco II and Glisco III, and related subsidiaries. Going forward the Company will maintain a limited partner's interest in the funds and the general partners of the funds. In addition, the Company maintains a limited partner's interest in Glisco Manager Holdings LP, from which the Company will receive its portion of the management fees earned by Glisco. The Company's investment in Glisco Manager Holdings LP is accounted for under the cost method of accounting. See Note 9 for further information. As a result of this transaction, on September 30, 2016 the Company deconsolidated assets and liabilities of $8,302 and $2,343 , respectively, and recorded an investment in Glisco Manager Holdings LP of $2,519 , representing the fair value of the deferred consideration resulting from this transaction. Furthermore, this resulted in a decrease in Noncontrolling Interest of $5,808 at September 30, 2016 related to GCP III. The transaction resulted in a gain on deconsolidation of $406 , included in Other Revenue, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. Kuna & Co. KG - On July 2, 2015, the Company acquired a 100% interest in Kuna & Co. KG, a Frankfurt-based investment banking advisory boutique, for $8,400 . The Company's consideration for this transaction included the payment of €3,000 , or $3,335 , of cash at closing, as well as deferred cash consideration of €2,000 , or $2,223 , payable €500 on each of the four anniversary dates of the closing beginning in 2017, and contingent cash consideration which will be settled at various dates through 2020. The contingent consideration has a fair value of $2,225 and $2,221 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Payment of the contingent consideration is dependent on the business meeting certain revenue performance targets. This transaction resulted in the Company recognizing goodwill of $5,476 and intangible assets relating to advisory backlog of $2,900 , recognized in the Investment Banking Segment. The intangible assets were being amortized over an estimated useful life of one year. The Company recognized $689 and $2,211 of amortization expense related to these intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company did not consider the acquisition of Kuna & Co. KG to be significant to its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill associated with the Company's acquisitions is as follows: Investment Investment Total Balance at December 31, 2014 $ 114,007 $ 104,225 $ 218,232 Acquisitions 5,476 — 5,476 Impairment of Goodwill — (28,500 ) (28,500 ) Deconsolidation of Atalanta Sosnoff — (27,274 ) (27,274 ) Foreign Currency Translation and Other (4,207 ) 2,734 (1,473 ) Balance at December 31, 2015 (1) 115,276 51,185 166,461 Foreign Currency Translation and Other (787 ) (4,713 ) (5,500 ) Balance at December 31, 2016 (1) $ 114,489 $ 46,472 $ 160,961 (1) The amount of the Company's goodwill before accumulated impairment losses of $28,500 was $189,461 and $194,961 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Intangible assets associated with the Company's acquisitions are as follows: December 31, 2016 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Investment Investment Total Investment Investment Total Client Related $ 44,311 $ 3,830 $ 48,141 $ 21,110 $ 1,586 $ 22,696 Non-compete/Non-solicit Agreements — 154 154 — 124 124 Other 5,320 445 5,765 1,647 223 1,870 Total $ 49,631 $ 4,429 $ 54,060 $ 22,757 $ 1,933 $ 24,690 December 31, 2015 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Investment Investment Total Investment Investment Total Client Related $ 50,700 $ 6,130 $ 56,830 $ 17,201 $ 3,391 $ 20,592 Non-compete/Non-solicit Agreements — 169 169 — 108 108 Other 5,320 445 5,765 887 167 1,054 Total $ 56,020 $ 6,744 $ 62,764 $ 18,088 $ 3,666 $ 21,754 Expense associated with the amortization of intangible assets was $11,640 , $17,458 and $8,007 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Based on the intangible assets above, as of December 31, 2016 , annual amortization of intangibles for each of the next five years is as follows: 2017 $ 9,835 2018 $ 9,201 2019 $ 7,868 2020 $ 1,182 2021 $ 996 The Company concluded that there was no impairment of Goodwill or Intangible Assets related to its Reporting Units during the year ended December 31, 2016. At November 30, 2016, in accordance with ASC 350, we performed our annual Goodwill impairment assessment. We concluded that the fair value of our reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying values as of November 30, 2016. During the third quarter of 2015, the Institutional Asset Management reporting unit was impacted by adverse market and operating conditions, including a decline in AUM that was greater than anticipated at the time of the Company's previous Step 1 impairment assessment, investment performance below benchmarks and lower market multiples for asset managers in response to market volatility during the third quarter. As a result, the Company determined that the Step 1 impairment assessment criteria were satisfied, as contemplated by ASC 350 for the goodwill in its Institutional Asset Management reporting unit as of August 31, 2015. 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. As a result of the analysis, the Company determined that the fair value of the Institutional Asset Management reporting unit was less than its carrying value as of August 31, 2015. Accordingly, during the third quarter of 2015, the Company began a Step 2 impairment assessment, which it completed during the fourth quarter of 2015. The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $28,500 in the Investment Management segment, which is included within Special Charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2015. This charge resulted in an impact of $9,785 on Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc. (after adjustments for noncontrolling interest and income taxes) for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase	Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase The Company, through Evercore Casa de Bolsa, S.A. de C.V. ("ECB"), enters into repurchase agreements with clients seeking overnight money market returns whereby ECB transfers to the clients Mexican government securities in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to repurchase the securities at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus a stipulated premium or interest factor. ECB deploys the cash received from, and acquires the securities deliverable to, clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market, which the Company reflects as Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition , or by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties. The Company accounts for these repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements as collateralized financing transactions, which are carried at their contract amounts, which approximate fair value given that the contracts mature the following business day. The Company records a liability on its Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in relation to repurchase transactions executed with clients as Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. The Company records as assets on its Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition , Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value (where the Company has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market) and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell (where the Company has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase agreements by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties). These Mexican government securities had an estimated average time to maturity of approximately 1.4 years , as of December 31, 2016 , 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 measures are within acceptable levels. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, a summary of the Company's assets, liabilities and collateral received or pledged related to these transactions was as follows: December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 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 $ 18,535 $ 41,742 Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell 12,585 $ 12,601 2,191 $ 2,192 Total Assets $ 31,120 $ 43,933 Liabilities Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase $ (31,150 ) $ (31,155 ) $ (44,000 ) $ (44,063 )

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Investments	Investments The Company's investments reported on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition consist of investments in private equity partnerships, other investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies, an equity security in a private company and investments in Glisco Manager Holdings LP and 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 ǀ Evercore, ABS and Atalanta Sosnoff, which are voting interest entities. The Company's share of earnings (losses) on its investments in G5 ǀ Evercore, ABS and Atalanta Sosnoff (after its deconsolidation on December 31, 2015) are included within Income from Equity Method Investments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations . Investments in Private Equity Private Equity Funds The Company's investments related to private equity partnerships and associated entities include investments in Evercore Capital Partners II, L.P. ("ECP II"), Discovery Americas I, L.P. (the "Discovery Fund"), Glisco II, 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 December 31, 2014, ECP II was terminated. The Company's investment at December 31, 2016 of $933 is comprised of its remaining interest in the general partner, including $852 in cash and $81 in securities. In addition, on September 12, 2016 the final distribution related to CSI Capital, L.P. ("CSI Capital") was made. A summary of the Company's investment in the private equity funds as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 was as follows: December 31, 2016 2015 ECP II $ 933 $ 983 Discovery Fund 7,463 6,632 Glisco II 6,897 6,091 Glisco III 529 5,786 CSI Capital — 35 Trilantic IV 211 2,829 Trilantic V 5,709 4,117 Total Private Equity Funds $ 21,742 $ 26,473 Net realized and unrealized gains on private equity fund investments were $7,616 , $5,086 and $7,858 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , Trilantic IV made distributions of $3,320 . During the year ended December 31, 2015, ECP II, Glisco II, CSI Capital and Trilantic IV made distributions of $3,000 , $3,194 , $2,909 and $2,907 , respectively. In the event the funds perform poorly, the Company may be obligated to repay certain carried interest previously distributed. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had $1,400 of previously distributed 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. 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 consolidated financial statements . Following the Glisco transaction, the Company concluded that GCP II, GCP 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 $9,889 included in its Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at December 31, 2016 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 December 31, 2016 was $12,232 , 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 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 2016, $1,130 and $50 of this investment was allocated to Trilantic Fund V and IV, respectively. During 2015, $636 and $8 of this investment was allocated to Trilantic Fund V and IV, respectively. During 2014, $689 of this investment was allocated to Trilantic Fund V. From 2010 to 2013, $825 and $1,120 of this investment was allocated to Trilantic Fund V and IV, respectively. This investment had a balance of $11,632 and $12,812 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company has a $5,000 commitment to invest in Trilantic Fund V, of which $2,041 was unfunded at December 31, 2016 . 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 the successor fund will be at approximately $12,000 . Cost Method Investments In 2015, the Company received an equity security in a private company with a fair value of $1,079 in exchange for advisory services. This investment is accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Following the Glisco transaction in 2016, the Company recorded an investment in Glisco Manager Holdings LP representing the fair value of the deferred consideration resulting from this transaction. This investment is accounted for under the cost method of accounting. The Company amortizes the balance of its investment as distributions are received related to the deferred consideration. This investment had a balance of $2,463 as of December 31, 2016 . Equity Method Investments A summary of the Company's other investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 was as follows: December 31, 2016 2015 G5 ǀ Evercore $ 26,016 $ 20,730 ABS 38,982 41,567 Atalanta Sosnoff 14,719 23,990 Total $ 79,717 $ 86,287 G5 ǀ Evercore In 2010, the Company made an investment accounted for under the equity method of accounting in G5 ǀ Evercore.

Fair Value Measurements

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 December 31, 2016 and 2015 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 December 31, 2016 and 2015: 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 December 31, 2015 Level I Level II Level III Total Corporate Bonds, Municipal Bonds and Other Debt Securities (1) $ — $ 44,144 $ — $ 44,144 Securities Investments (1) 5,200 1,749 — 6,949 Investment Funds 2,347 — — 2,347 Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value 41,742 — — 41,742 Total Assets Measured At Fair Value $ 49,289 $ 45,893 $ — $ 95,182 (1) Includes $9,173 and $9,653 of treasury bills, municipal bonds and commercial paper classified within Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015. 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. See Note 4 for further information. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company determined that the fair value of the goodwill in its Institutional Asset Management reporting unit was $66,200 . 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. The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's financial instrument assets and liabilities, which are not measured at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition , are listed in the tables below.

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

Interests Purchased - On January 29, 2016, the Company purchased, at fair value, all of the noncontrolling interest in ECB for $6,482 resulting in a decrease to Noncontrolling Interest of $5,225 and a decrease to Additional Paid-In Capital of $1,257 , on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition for the year ended December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company purchased 5 LP Units and certain other rights from a noncontrolling interest holder, resulting in a decrease to Noncontrolling Interest of $235 on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company purchased 26 LP Units and certain other rights from a noncontrolling interest holder, resulting in a decrease to Noncontrolling Interest of $353 and a decrease to Additional Paid-In Capital of $770 , on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2015. In May 2014, the Company purchased 3 units, or 22% , of the aggregate amount of the outstanding EWM Class A units held by members of EWM for 119 Class A Shares and 11 LP Units of the Company, at a fair value of $7,100 . This transaction resulted in an increase in the Company's ownership in EWM to 62% . In conjunction with this purchase, the Company amended the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of EWM. Per the amended agreement, the holders of certain EWM interests no longer have the option to redeem these capital interests for cash upon the event of the death or disability of the holder. Accordingly, the value of these interests had been reclassified from Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest to Noncontrolling Interest on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2014. The above transactions had the effect of reducing Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest and Treasury Stock by $34,577 and $3,856 , respectively, and increasing Noncontrolling Interest and Additional Paid-In-Capital by $27,477 and $3,244 , respectively, at June 30, 2014. These interests were reflected at their fair value of $34,577 within Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at March 31, 2014. Changes in the fair value of these redeemable noncontrolling interests resulted in a decrease to Additional Paid-In-Capital of $4,116 for the year ended December 31, 2014. GCP III - On July 19, 2016, the Company and the principals of its Mexican Private Equity business entered into an agreement to transfer ownership of its Mexican Private Equity business and related entities to Glisco.

Atalanta Sosnoff - On December 31, 2015, the Company deconsolidated the assets and liabilities of Atalanta Sosnoff, as well as its related redeemable noncontrolling interests. See Note 4 for further information. ISI Transaction - The value of the Class E LP Units exchanged as consideration for the Company's acquisition of the operating businesses of ISI, as well as the value of Class E LP Units exchanged for the interest in its Institutional Equities business it did not own, resulted in an increase to Noncontrolling Interest of $68,835 as of December 31, 2014. Further, the purchase of the remaining noncontrolling interest in the Institutional Equities business, including the portion exchanged for cash, resulted in a reduction of Additional Paid-In-Capital of $17,307 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Further, the Company's acquisition of a small advisory boutique firm resulted in an increase in Noncontrolling Interest of $3,509 as of December 31, 2014. Other - In addition, Noncontrolling Interest was reduced and Additional Paid-In-Capital was increased by the net effect of $1,124 as of December 31, 2014, reflecting other adjustments resulting from changes in ownership in the Company's subsidiaries.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Inc. Common Shareholders	Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Inc. Common Shareholders The calculations of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 are described and presented below. For the Years Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Basic Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Inc. Common Shareholders Numerator: Net income attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders $ 107,528 $ 42,863 $ 86,874 Denominator: Weighted average Class A Shares outstanding, including vested RSUs 39,220 37,161 35,827 Basic net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders $ 2.74 $ 1.15 $ 2.42 Diluted Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Inc. Common Shareholders Numerator: Net income attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders $ 107,528 $ 42,863 $ 86,874 Noncontrolling interest related to the assumed exchange of LP Units for Class A Shares (a) (a) (a) Associated corporate taxes related to the assumed elimination of Noncontrolling Interest described above (a) (a) (a) Diluted net income attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders $ 107,528 $ 42,863 $ 86,874 Denominator: Weighted average Class A Shares outstanding, including vested RSUs 39,220 37,161 35,827 Assumed exchange of LP Units for Class A Shares (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 2,065 2,162 2,723 Shares that are contingently issuable (b) 2,908 1,747 88 Assumed conversion of Warrants issued (c) — 2,629 3,205 Diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding 44,193 43,699 41,843 Diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders $ 2.43 $ 0.98 $ 2.08 (a) The Company has outstanding LP Units in its subsidiary, Evercore LP, which give the holders the right to receive Class A Shares upon exchange on a one -for-one basis. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 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 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 Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 6,397 , 6,606 and 5,161 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 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 $18,196 , $7,697 and $12,912 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 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 Inc. and, that it has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C Corporation in the U.S. at prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not anticipate that the LP Units will result in a dilutive computation in future periods. (b) At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has outstanding 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 which are contingently exchangeable into Class I LP Units, and ultimately Class A Shares, as they are subject to certain performance thresholds being achieved. See Note 17 for a further discussion. For the purposes of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore 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 2,908 and 1,747 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. (c) In November 2015, Mizuho exercised in full its outstanding Warrants to purchase 5,455 Class A Shares, of which the Company repurchased 2,355 shares. 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.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Share-Based and Other Deferred Compensation	Share-Based and Other Deferred Compensation Acquisition-related LP Units Equities business - In conjunction with the acquisition of the operating businesses of ISI in 2014, the Company issued Evercore LP units and interests which have been treated as compensation, including 710 vested Class E LP Units and an allocation of the value, attributed to post-combination service, of 710 Class E LP Units that were unvested and vest ratably on October 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017 and become exchangeable once vested. The units will become exchangeable into Class A Shares of the Company subject to certain liquidated damages and continued employment provisions. Compensation expense related to Class E LP Units was $21,077 , $21,425 and $3,399 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. In October 2016 and 2015, 224 and 233 Class E LP Units vested, respectively. The Company also issued 538 vested and 540 unvested Class G LP Interests, which vest ratably on February 15, 2016, 2017 and 2018, and 2,044 vested and 2,051 unvested Class H LP Interests, which will vest ratably on February 15, 2018, 2019 and 2020. The Company's vested Class G and Class H LP Interests will become exchangeable into Class A 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 year ended December 31, 2016, the Company determined that the achievement of certain of the remaining performance thresholds for the remaining Class G and H LP Interests was probable at December 31, 2016 . This determination assumes a Management Basis EBIT margin of 16.1% and an annual Management Basis EBIT of $39,634 being achieved over the remaining performance period for Evercore ISI which would result in 3,610 Class G and H LP Interests vesting and becoming exchangeable into Class E LP Units. For the year ended December 31, 2015, 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 15.2% and an annual Management Basis EBIT of $34,395 being achieved over the performance period for Evercore ISI. Accordingly, $59,357 and $61,111 of expense was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for the Class G and H LP Interests. As of December 31, 2014, the Company determined that the achievement of the above performance thresholds associated with the Class G and H LP Interests was not probable. Accordingly, no expense was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2014 for the Class G and H LP Interests. Assuming the maximum thresholds for the Class G and H LP Interests were considered probable of achievement at December 31, 2016, an additional $34,969 of expense would have been incurred for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the remaining expense to be accrued over the future vesting period extending from January 1, 2017 to February 15, 2020 would be $110,457 . In that circumstance, the total number of Class G and H LP Interests that would vest and become exchangeable to Class E LP Units would be 4,939 . Conversely, the life to date actual accrued expense related to unvested Class G and H LP Interests as of December 31, 2016 was $86,984 , which would be reversed if the actual performance falls below, or is deemed probable of falling below, the minimum thresholds prior to vesting. The following tables summarize activity related to the Acquisition-related Awards for the Company's equities business during the year ended December 31, 2016 . In these tables, awards whose performance conditions have not yet been achieved are reflected as unvested: Class E LP Units Number of Units Grant Date Weighted Unvested Balance at January 1, 2016 771 $ 39,525 Granted 4 203 Modified — — Forfeited (5 ) (270 ) Vested/Performance Achieved (389 ) (19,755 ) Unvested Balance at December 31, 2016 381 $ 19,703 Class G LP Interests Class H LP Interests Number of Interests Grant Date Weighted Number of Interests Grant Date Weighted Unvested Balance at January 1, 2016 1,075 $ 55,623 4,083 $ 211,365 Granted 6 308 33 1,752 Modified — — — — Forfeited (6 ) (303 ) (33 ) (1,729 ) Vested/Performance Achieved (364 ) (18,811 ) (37 ) (1,933 ) Unvested Balance at December 31, 2016 711 $ 36,817 4,046 $ 209,455 As of December 31, 2016, the total compensation cost not yet recognized related to these Acquisition-related Awards, including awards which are subject to performance conditions, was $162,379 . The weighted-average period over which this compensation cost is expected to be recognized is 26 months . Other Acquisition Related Lexicon - During 2011, in connection with the acquisition of The Lexicon Partnership LLP ("Lexicon"), the Company committed to issue 1,883 restricted Class A Shares, including dividend equivalent units, ("Lexicon Acquisition-related Awards") and deferred cash consideration. Compensation expense related to Lexicon Acquisition-related Awards and deferred cash consideration was $1,237 and $301 , respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2015, and $5,255 and $1,626 , respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2015, all Lexicon Acquisition-related Awards were fully vested and all compensation costs related to Lexicon Acquisition-related Awards and deferred cash consideration were recognized. Stock Incentive Plans In 2006 the Company's stockholders and board of directors adopted the Evercore Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. The total number of Class A Shares which could be issued under this plan was 20,000 . During the second quarter of 2013, the Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2006 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "2006 Plan"). The amended and restated plan, among other things, authorized an additional 5,000 shares of the Company's Class A Shares. As of December 31, 2015, the total shares available to be granted in the future under the 2006 Plan was 2,865 . During the second quarter of 2016, the Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan"), which replaced the 2006 Plan. The 2016 Plan, among other things, authorizes an additional 10,000 shares of the Company's Class A Shares. The plans permit 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 plans. Class A Shares underlying any award granted under the plans 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 9,906 as of December 31, 2016. The Company also grants dividend equivalents, in the form of unvested RSU awards, concurrently with the payment of dividends to the holders of Class A Shares, on all unvested RSU grants awarded in conjunction with annual bonuses as well as new hire awards granted after April 2012. The dividend equivalents have the same vesting and delivery terms as the underlying RSU award. The Company had 61 RSUs which were fully vested but not delivered as of December 31, 2016. Equity Grants 2016 Equity Grants. During 2016 , pursuant to the 2006 Plan and 2016 Plan, the Company granted employees 3,144 RSUs that are Service-based Awards. The Company also granted 900 RSUs during 2016 in conjunction with the appointment of the Executive Chairman, which are Service-based Awards granted outside of the 2016 Plan in reliance on the employment inducement exception provided under § 303A.08 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. See "Executive Chairman" below for further information. Service-based Awards granted during 2016 had grant date fair values of $44.30 to $70.65 per share. During 2016 , 2,609 Service-based Awards vested and 181 Service-based Awards were forfeited. Compensation expense related to Service-based Awards was $125,990 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The following table summarizes activity related to Service-based Awards during the year ended December 31, 2016 : Service-based Awards Number of Shares Grant Date Weighted Unvested Balance at January 1, 2016 5,634 $ 261,603 Granted 4,044 208,833 Modified — — Forfeited (181 ) (8,758 ) Vested (2,609 ) (115,230 ) Unvested Balance at December 31, 2016 6,888 $ 346,448 As of December 31, 2016 , the total compensation cost related to unvested Service-based Awards not yet recognized was $233,420 . The ultimate amount of such expense is dependent upon the actual number of Service-based Awards that vest. The Company periodically assesses the forfeiture rates used for such estimates. A change in estimated forfeiture rates would cause the aggregate amount of compensation expense recognized in future periods to differ from the estimated unrecognized compensation expense described herein. The weighted-average period over which this compensation cost is expected to be recognized is 31 months . 2015 Equity Grants. During 2015 , pursuant to the 2006 Plan, the Company granted employees 2,712 RSUs that are Service-based Awards. Service-based Awards granted during 2015 had grant date fair values of $48.41 to $58.47 per share. During 2015 , 2,259 Service-based Awards vested and 167 Service-based Awards were forfeited.

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 $568 for the year ended December 31, 2016. 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 $10,591 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company issued 400 Class I-P Units of Evercore LP. 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. 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 $544 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Deferred Cash Program The Company's deferred 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 $41,147 , $3,926 and $9,153 of deferred cash awards pursuant to the deferred compensation program during 2016, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Compensation expense related to this deferred compensation program was $14,936 , $1,476 and $3,683 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the total compensation cost related to the deferred compensation program not yet recognized was $29,916 . The weighted-average period over which this compensation cost is expected to be recognized is 38 months . 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 a four -year performance period beginning January 1, 2013. These awards, which aggregate $50,098 of liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2016, 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, subject to employment at the time of payment.

Other Commitments During the first quarter of 2015, in conjunction with the Company entering into a strategic alliance with Luminis, the Company committed to loan Luminis $5,500 . The Company paid Luminis $3,500 pursuant to the loan agreement during the year ended December 31, 2015. In December 2016, the Company gave notice of its intent to exercise its call option to purchase a 19% interest in Luminis. As consideration for this transaction, the Company converted the $3,500 loan issued to Luminis and transferred an additional $2,000 of cash during December 2016. Accordingly, the Company recorded $5,500 in Other Assets on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2016.

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. EGL intends to vigorously defend the case, and is indemnified for legal expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) and other liabilities, except in certain cases involving gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes As a result of the Company's formation and IPO, collectively referred to as the reorganization, the operating business entities of the Company were restructured and a portion of the Company's income is subject to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes and is taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. Taxes Payable as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $27,321 and $20,886 , respectively. The following table presents the U.S. and non-U.S. components of Income before income tax expense: For the Years Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 U.S. $ 204,920 $ 81,157 $ 124,747 Non-U.S. 21,911 38,736 30,883 Income before Income Tax Expense (a) $ 226,831 $ 119,893 $ 155,630 (a) Net of Noncontrolling Interest. The components of the provision for income taxes reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 consist of: For the Years Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Current: Federal $ 79,596 $ 56,064 $ 33,814 Foreign 10,832 9,798 10,513 State and Local 18,832 14,795 10,114 Total Current 109,260 80,657 54,441 Deferred: Federal 11,510 (1,196 ) 15,104 Foreign (1,439 ) 659 (3,080 ) State and Local (28 ) (3,090 ) 2,291 Total Deferred 10,043 (3,627 ) 14,315 Total $ 119,303 $ 77,030 $ 68,756 A reconciliation between the federal statutory income tax rate and the Company's effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 is as follows: For the Years Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Reconciliation of Federal Statutory Tax Rates: U.S. Statutory Tax Rate 35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % Increase Due to State and Local Taxes 4.8 % 7.0 % 6.0 % Rate Benefits as a Limited Liability Company/Flow Through (5.9 )% (5.9 )% (4.2 )% Foreign Taxes 0.7 % 1.5 % 0.4 % Non-Deductible Expenses (1) 9.9 % 19.9 % 1.1 % Valuation Allowances — % — % 0.9 % Other Adjustments — % (0.3 )% (0.2 )% Effective Income Tax Rate 44.5 % 57.2 % 39.0 % (1) Primarily related to non-deductible share-based compensation expense. Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries totaled approximately $6,531 as of December 31, 2016 . Deferred taxes have not been provided on the undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries, as the Company considers these amounts to be indefinitely reinvested to finance international growth and expansion. As of December 31, 2016 , unrecognized net deferred tax liability attributable to those reinvested earnings would have aggregated approximately $1,965 . In the event that such amounts were ever remitted, loaned to the Company, or if the stock in the foreign subsidiary was sold, these earnings could become subject to U.S. Federal tax and an income tax provision, if any, would be recognized at that time. Deferred income taxes are provided for the effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. These temporary differences result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Details of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows: December 31, 2016 2015 Deferred Tax Assets: Depreciation and Amortization $ 31,475 $ 29,498 Compensation and Benefits 54,410 35,120 Step up in tax basis due to the exchange of LP Units for Class A Shares 202,257 215,827 Other 44,065 38,349 Total Deferred Tax Assets $ 332,207 $ 318,794 Deferred Tax Liabilities: Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other $ 25,273 $ 19,169 Total Deferred Tax Liabilities $ 25,273 $ 19,169 Net Deferred Tax Assets Before Valuation Allowance $ 306,934 $ 299,625 Valuation Allowance (1,510 ) (1,510 ) Net Deferred Tax Assets $ 305,424 $ 298,115 The increase in net deferred tax assets from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016 was primarily attributable to a net increase of $19,290 in compensation and benefits, associated with the increased compensation costs of the Long-term Incentive Plan and Deferred Cash Program. During 2016 , the LP holders exchanged for Class A Shares and the Company purchased 537 Class A and Class E LP Units, which resulted in an increase in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Evercore LP. The exchange of Class E LP Units resulted in a $5,821 step-up in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Evercore LP and a corresponding increase to Additional Paid-In-Capital on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2016 . Further, the exchange of 26 of such Class A LP Units triggered an additional liability under the tax receivable agreement that was entered into in 2006 between the Company and the LP Unit holders. The agreement provides for a payment to the LP Unit holders of 85% of the cash tax savings (if any), resulting from the increased tax benefits from the exchange and for the Company to retain 15% of such benefits. Accordingly, Deferred Tax Assets, Amounts Due Pursuant to Tax Receivable Agreements and Additional Paid-In-Capital increased $784 , $666 and $118 , respectively, on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2016 . See Note 14 for further discussion. This amount was offset by a $14,354 reduction in deferred tax assets related to the 2016 amortization of the tax basis in the tangible and intangible assets of Evercore LP. Additionally, the increase in net deferred tax assets from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016 was also attributable to an increase of $1,977 related to the depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets. There was a net increase of $6,104 in the deferred tax liabilities from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016, primarily related to the increase in the amount of employee cash awards. The Company reported an increase in deferred tax assets of $688 associated with changes in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities and an increase of $9,347 associated with changes in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company reported an increase in deferred tax assets of $455 associated with changes in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities and an increase of $8,492 associated with changes in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company's affiliates generated approximately $5,054 of NYC unincorporated business tax credit carryforwards, which are set to expire in 2017. Management has weighed both the positive and negative evidence and determined that it was appropriate to establish a valuation allowance of $1,510 , on the amount of credits that are not expected to be realized. A reconciliation of the changes in tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 is as follows: December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Beginning unrecognized tax benefit $ — $ — $ 624 Additions for tax positions of prior years — — 276 Reductions for tax positions of prior years — — — Lapse of Statute of Limitations — — (98 ) Decrease due to settlement with Taxing Authority — — (802 ) Ending unrecognized tax benefit $ — $ — $ — The Company classifies interest relating to tax matters and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations . Related to the unrecognized tax benefits, the Company did not recognize any interest and penalties during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The Company and its affiliates are currently under examination by New York City for tax years 2011 through 2014. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or foreign examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2012.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Concentrations of Credit Risk	Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, foreign government obligations and receivables from clients. The Company has placed substantially all of its Cash and Cash Equivalents in interest-bearing deposits in U.S. commercial banks and U.S. investment banks that meet certain rating and capital requirements. The Company's foreign subsidiaries maintain substantially all of their Cash and Cash Equivalents in interest bearing accounts at large commercial banking institutions domiciled in their respective countries of operation. Concentrations of credit risk are limited due to the quality of the Company's clients. Credit Risks The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions with high credit ratings. At times, the Company may maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured ("FDIC") limits or enter into sweep arrangements where banks will periodically transfer a portion of the Company's excess cash position to a money market fund. However, the Company believes that it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions or investment vehicles in which those deposits are held. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company has securities purchased under agreements to resell of $12,585 for which the Company has received collateral with a fair value of $12,601 . Additionally, the Company has securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $31,150 , for which the Company has pledged collateral with a fair value of $31,155 . The Company has established risk management procedures to monitor the exposure to concentrations of credit from Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell. The collateral for the receivables is primarily secured by Mexican government bonds and the Company monitors the collateral pledged under these agreements against their contract value from inception to maturity date. Accounts Receivable consists primarily of advisory fees and expense reimbursements billed to clients. Receivables are reported net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide coverage for probable losses from customer receivables and derives the estimate through specific identification for the allowance for doubtful accounts and an assessment of the client's creditworthiness. At December 31, 2016 and 2015 total receivables amounted to $230,522 and $175,497 , respectively, net of an allowance. The Investment Banking and Investment Management receivables collection periods generally are within 90 days of invoice. The collection period for restructuring transactions and private equity fee receivables may exceed 90 days. The Company recorded bad debt expense of approximately $2,261 , $1,314 and $1,027 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. With respect to the Company's Marketable Securities portfolio, which is comprised of highly-rated corporate and municipal bonds, exchange traded funds, mutual funds and equity securities, the Company manages its credit risk exposure by limiting concentration risk and maintaining investment grade credit quality. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had Marketable Securities of $66,487 , of which 60% were corporate and municipal securities, primarily with S&P ratings ranging from AAA to BB+, and 40% were equity securities, exchange traded funds and mutual funds. Periodically, the Company provides compensation to new and existing employees in the form of loans and/or other cash awards, which include a requirement of either full or partial repayment of these awards based on the terms of their employment agreements with the Company.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation, Policy	Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP's wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. ("EGL"), 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. 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. The Company previously concluded that Evercore Asia Limited ("Evercore Asia") and Evercore Asia (Singapore) PTE. LTD. ("Evercore Singapore") were also VIEs; on July 1, 2016, the Company terminated the transfer pricing arrangements with Evercore Asia and Evercore Singapore. The Company viewed this modification as a reconsideration event under ASC 810-10 and concluded that Evercore Asia and Evercore Singapore are not VIEs and will continue to be consolidated as voting interest entities. 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 Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition ISI U.K. and Evercore U.K. assets of $116,958 and liabilities of $90,260 at December 31, 2016 and Evercore Asia, Evercore Singapore, ISI U.K. and Evercore U.K. assets of $151,583 and liabilities of $110,424 at December 31, 2015. See Note 9 for further information on the Company's VIEs. All intercompany balances and transactions with the Company's subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation. At the time of the formation transaction, the members of Evercore LP (the "Members") received Class A limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class A LP Units") in consideration for their contribution of the various entities included in the historical combined financial statements of the Company. The Class A LP Units were subject to vesting requirements and transfer restrictions and are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock ("Class A Shares"). At December 31, 2013, all Class A LP Units were fully vested. On October 31, 2014, in conjunction with the acquisition of the operating businesses of International Strategy & Investment ("ISI"), the Company issued vested and unvested Class E limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class E LP Units") and vested and unvested Class G and H limited partnership interests of Evercore LP ("Class G and H LP Interests"). In November 2016, in conjunction with the appointment of the Executive Chairman, the Company issued unvested Class I-P Units of Evercore LP ("Class I-P Units"). The Class I-P Units are contingently exchangeable into Class I limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class I LP Units"), which are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis for Class A Shares. See Note 17 for further information. The Company accounts for exchanges of Evercore LP partnership units ("LP Units") for Class A Shares based on the carrying amounts of the Members' LP Units immediately before the exchange. The Company's interest in Evercore LP is within the scope of ASC 810-20, " Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights" . The Company consolidates Evercore LP and records noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in Evercore LP held directly by others, which includes the Members.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy	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.
Accounts Receivable, Policy	Accounts Receivable – Accounts Receivable consists primarily of investment banking fees and expense reimbursements charged to the Company's clients. The Company records Accounts Receivable net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide coverage for estimated losses from its client receivables. The Company determines the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on the Company's analysis of the client's creditworthiness and specifically reserves against exposure where the Company determines the receivables are impaired, which may include situations where a fee is in dispute or litigation has commenced.
Furniture, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements, Policy	Furniture, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements – Fixed assets, including equipment, hardware and software and leasehold improvements, are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Furniture, equipment and computer hardware and software are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, primarily ranging from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life of the asset.
Revenue Recognition, Policy	Investment Banking Revenue – The Company earns investment banking fees from clients for providing advisory services on strategic matters, including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, leveraged buyouts, restructurings and similar corporate finance matters. The Company's Investment Banking services also include services related to securities underwriting, private placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. It is the Company's accounting policy to recognize revenue when (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement with a client, (ii) fees are fixed or determinable, (iii) the agreed-upon services have been completed and delivered to the client or the transaction or events contemplated in the engagement letter are determined to be substantially completed and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. The Company records Investment Banking Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the following: Advisory Fees – In general, advisory fees are paid at the time the Company signs an engagement letter, during the course of the engagement or when an engagement is completed. In some circumstances, and as a function of the terms of an engagement letter, the Company may receive retainer fees for financial advisory services concurrent with, or soon after, the execution of the engagement letter where the engagement letter will specify a future service period associated with that fee. In such circumstances, these retainer fees are initially recorded as deferred revenue, which is recorded in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and subsequently recognized as advisory fee revenue in Investment Banking Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the applicable time period within which the service is rendered. Revenues related to fairness or valuation opinions are recognized when the opinion has been rendered and delivered to the client and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied. Success fees for advisory services, such as merger and acquisition advice, are recognized when the transaction(s) or event(s) are determined to be completed and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied. In the event the Company was to receive an opinion or success fee in advance of the completion conditions noted above, such fee would initially be recorded as deferred revenue in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and subsequently recognized as advisory fee revenue in Investment Banking Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the conditions of completion have been satisfied. Placement Fees – Placement fee revenues are attributable to capital raising on both a primary and secondary basis. The Company recognizes placement advisory fees at the time of the client's acceptance of capital or capital commitments in accordance with the terms of the engagement letter. Underwriting Fees – Underwriting fees are attributable to public and private offerings of equity and debt securities and are recognized when the offering has been deemed to be completed by the lead manager of the underwriting group. When the offering is completed, the Company recognizes the applicable management fee, selling concession and underwriting fee, the latter net of estimated offering expenses. Commissions and Related Fees – Commissions and Related Fees include commissions received from customers for the execution of agency-based brokerage transactions in listed and over-the-counter equities and are recorded on a trade-date basis or, in the case of payments under commission sharing arrangements, when earned. The Company earns subscription fees for the sales of research. Cash received before the subscription period ends is initially recorded as deferred revenue in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and is recognized in Investment Banking Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related services are rendered. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Investment Management Revenue – The Company's Investment Management business generates revenues from the management of client assets and the private equity funds. Investment management fees for third-party clients are generally based on the value of the assets under management and any performance fees that may be negotiated with the client. These fees are generally recognized over the period that the related services are provided, based upon the beginning, ending or average value of the assets for the relevant period. Fees paid in advance of services rendered are initially recorded as deferred revenue, which is recorded in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and are recognized in Investment Management Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related service is rendered. Generally, to the extent performance fee arrangements have been negotiated, these fees are earned when the return on assets exceeds certain benchmark returns. Management fees for private equity funds are contractual and are typically based on committed capital during the private equity funds' investment period, and on invested capital, thereafter. Management fees are recognized ratably over the period during which services are provided. The management fees may provide for a management fee offset for certain portfolio company fees the Company earns. The Company also records performance fee revenue from the private equity funds when the returns on the private equity funds' investments exceed certain threshold minimums. These performance fees, or carried interest, are computed in accordance with the underlying private equity funds' partnership agreements and are based on investment performance over the life of each investment partnership. Historically, the Company recorded performance fee revenue from its managed private equity funds when the private equity funds' investment values exceeded certain threshold minimums. During 2014, the Company changed its method of recording performance fees such that the Company records performance fees upon the earlier of the termination of the investment fund or when the likelihood of clawback is mathematically improbable. This method is considered the more preferable of the two methods accepted under ASC 605-20-S99-1. Fees generated for serving as an independent fiduciary and/or trustee are either based on a flat fee, are pre-negotiated with the client or are based on the value of assets under administration. For ongoing engagements, fees are billed quarterly either in advance or in arrears. Fees paid in advance of services rendered are initially recorded as deferred revenue in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and are recognized in Investment Management Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations ratably over the period in which the related services are rendered.
Other Revenue, Including Interest and Interest Expense, Policy	Other Revenue, Including Interest and Interest Expense – Other Revenue, Including Interest and Interest Expense is derived primarily from financing transactions. These transactions are principally repurchases and resales of Mexican government securities. Revenue and expenses associated with these transactions are recognized over the term of the repurchase transaction. Other Revenue, Including Interest and Interest Expense also includes interest expense associated with the Notes Payable, subordinated borrowings and the line of credit and other financing arrangements, as well as income (losses) on marketable securities and cash deposited with financial institutions and changes in amounts due pursuant to the Company's tax receivable agreements.
Client Expense Reimbursement, Policy	Client Expense Reimbursement – In the conduct of its financial advisory service engagements and in advising the private equity funds, the Company receives reimbursement for certain expenses incurred by the Company on behalf of its clients and the funds. Transaction-related expenses, which are billable to clients, are recognized as revenue and recorded in Accounts Receivable on the later of the date of an executed engagement letter or the date the expense is incurred.
Noncontrolling Interest, Policy	Noncontrolling Interest – Noncontrolling interest recorded in the consolidated financial statements of the Company relates to the portions of the subsidiaries not owned by the Company. The Company allocates net income to noncontrolling interests held at Evercore LP and at the operating entity level, where required, by multiplying the relative ownership interest of the noncontrolling interest holders for the period by the net income or loss for the entity which the noncontrolling interest relates. In circumstances where the governing documents of the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates require special allocations of profits (losses) to the controlling and noncontrolling interest holders, then the net income or loss of these entities is allocated based on these special allocations. ASC 810 requires reporting entities to present noncontrolling (minority) interests as equity (as opposed to as a liability or mezzanine equity) and provides guidance on the accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling Interest is presented as a component of Total Equity on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and below Net Income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, there is an allocation of the components of Total Comprehensive Income between controlling interests and noncontrolling interests. Changes in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains control of its subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy	Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of short-term highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy	Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The majority of the Company's assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value or at amounts that approximate fair value. Such assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, investments, marketable securities, financial instruments owned and pledged as collateral, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, receivables and payables and accruals. See Note 10 for further information.
Marketable Securities, Policy	Marketable Securities – Marketable Securities include investments in corporate, municipal and other debt securities, as well as investments in readily-marketable equity securities, which are accounted for as available-for-sale under ASC 320-10, " Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." These securities are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as net increases or decreases to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), net of tax, while realized gains and losses on these securities are determined using the specific identification method and are included in Other Revenue, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The readily-marketable debt and equity securities are valued using quoted market prices on applicable exchanges or markets. Marketable Securities also include investments in municipal bonds held at EGL and exchange traded funds and mutual funds, which are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in Other Revenues, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Marketable Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date.
Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value, Policy	Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value – The Company's Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value consist principally of foreign government obligations, which are recorded on a trade-date basis and are stated at quoted market values. Related gains and losses are reflected in Other Revenue, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company pledges the Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value to collateralize certain financing arrangements, which permits the counterparty to pledge the securities.
Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase, Policy	Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase – Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase are treated as collateralized financing transactions. The agreements provide that the transferor will receive substantially the same securities in return at the maturity of the agreement. These transactions are carried at the amounts at which the related securities will be subsequently resold or repurchased, plus accrued interest payable or receivable. As the maturities on these transactions are short-term in nature (i.e. mature on the next business day) and the underlying securities are debt instruments of the Mexican Governments or its agencies, their carrying amounts approximate fair value. The Company periodically assesses the collectability or credit quality related to securities purchased under agreements to resell.
Investments, Policy	Investments – The Company's investments include investments in private equity partnerships, the Company's equity interests in G5 Holdings S.A. ("G5 ǀ Evercore"), ABS Investment Management, LLC ("ABS") and Atalanta Sosnoff Capital, LLC ("Atalanta Sosnoff") (after its deconsolidation on December 31, 2015), which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. In addition, the Company holds an equity security in a private company and maintains investments in Glisco Manager Holdings LP and Trilantic Capital Partners ("Trilantic"), which are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. See Note 9 for further information. Private Equity – The investments of private equity funds consist primarily of investments in marketable and non-marketable securities of the portfolio companies. The underlying investments held by the private equity funds are valued based on quoted market prices or estimated fair value if there is no public market. The Company determines fair value of non-marketable securities by giving consideration to a range of factors, including but not limited to, market conditions, operating performance (current and projected) and subsequent financing transactions. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation of these non-marketable securities, estimated values may materially differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for these investments. Investments in publicly-traded securities held by the private equity funds are valued using quoted market prices. The Company recognizes its allocable share of the changes in fair value of the private equity funds' underlying investments as realized and unrealized gains (losses) within Investment Management Revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Affiliates – The Company's equity interests in G5 ǀ Evercore, ABS and Atalanta Sosnoff (after its deconsolidation on December 31, 2015) include its share of the income (losses) within Income (Loss) from Equity Method Investments, as a component of Income Before Income Taxes, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company assesses its Equity Method Investments annually for impairment, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. See Note 4 for further information. The Company also maintains investments in Glisco Manager Holdings LP and Trilantic. See Note 9 for further information.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy	Goodwill and Intangible Assets – Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, as of November 30 th , or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The Company assesses whether any goodwill recorded by its applicable reporting unit is impaired by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its respective carrying amount. For acquired businesses, contingent consideration is recognized and measured at fair value as of the acquisition date and at subsequent reporting periods. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable as prescribed by ASC 360, " Property, Plant, and Equipment" ("ASC 360"). The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. In determining the fair value for each reporting unit the Company utilizes either a market multiple approach or a discounted cash flow methodology based on the adjusted cash flows from operations, or a weighted combination of both a market multiple approach and discounted cash flow methodology. The market multiple approach includes applying the average earnings multiples of comparable public companies for their respective reporting unit multiplied by the forecasted earnings of the respective reporting unit to yield an estimate of fair value. The discounted cash flow methodology begins with the forecasted adjusted cash flows from each of the reporting units and uses a discount rate that reflects the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the risks inherent in the future cash flows. See Note 4 for further information.
Compensation and Benefits, Policy	Compensation and Benefits – Compensation includes salaries, bonuses (discretionary awards and guaranteed amounts), severance, deferred cash and share-based compensation. Cash bonuses are accrued over the respective service periods to which they relate and deferred cash and share-based bonuses are expensed prospectively over their requisite service period.
Share-based Payments, Policy	Share-Based Payments –The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718, " Compensation – Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). See Note 17 for further information. Compensation expense recognized pursuant to share-based awards is based on the grant date fair value of the award. The fair value (as measured on the grant date) of awards that vest from one to five years ("Service-based Awards") is amortized over the vesting periods or requisite service periods as required under ASC 718, however, the vesting of some Service-based Awards will accelerate upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company amortizes the grant-date fair value of share-based compensation awards made to employees, who are or will become retirement eligible prior to the stated vesting date, over the expected substantive service period. For the purposes of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders, unvested Service-based Awards are included in the diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. Once vested, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and restricted stock are included in the basic and diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding. Expense relating to RSUs and restricted stock is charged to Employee Compensation and Benefits within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Compensation expense is recognized pursuant to performance-based awards if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. See Note 17 for a discussion of the awards issued in conjunction with the Company's acquisition of the operating businesses of ISI, as well as the Company's Long-term Incentive Plan. Awards classified as liabilities as required under ASC 718, such as cash settled share-based awards, are re-measured at fair value at each reporting period.
Foreign Currency Translations, Policy	Foreign Currency Translation – Foreign currency assets and liabilities have been translated at rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the periods presented. Income and expenses transacted in foreign currency have been translated at average monthly exchange rates during the period. Translation gains and losses are included in the foreign currency translation adjustment as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Exchange gains and losses arising from translating intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature are recorded in the foreign currency translation account while transactional exchange gains and losses are included in Other Revenue, Including Interest on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Income Tax, Policy	Income Taxes –The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, " Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"), which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of its assets and liabilities, as disclosed in Note 20. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse. Such temporary differences are reflected on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company's provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against the Company's net deferred tax assets. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-17, " Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes" ("ASU 2015-17") prospectively as of December 31, 2015 and changed its presentation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities on its Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition such that the Company classifies all deferred income tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. Historically, the Company presented deferred income tax assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"), effective January 1, 2017, which provides amendments to ASC No. 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation." ASU 2016-09 requires that the tax deduction associated with the appreciation in the Company's share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price be reflected in income tax expense. See Note 3 for further information. The application of ASU 2016-09 resulted in excess tax benefits from the delivery of Class A Shares under share-based payment arrangements being recognized prospectively in the Company's Provision for Income Taxes, 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 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. ASC 740 provides a benefit recognition model with a two-step approach consisting of "more-likely-than-not" recognition criteria, and a measurement attribute that measures the position as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also requires the recognition of liabilities created by differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements. See Note 20 for further information.

Schedule Of Basic And Diluted Net Income Per Share	The calculations of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 are described and presented below. For the Years Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Basic Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Inc. Common Shareholders Numerator: Net income attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders $ 107,528 $ 42,863 $ 86,874 Denominator: Weighted average Class A Shares outstanding, including vested RSUs 39,220 37,161 35,827 Basic net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders $ 2.74 $ 1.15 $ 2.42 Diluted Net Income Per Share Attributable to Evercore Inc. Common Shareholders Numerator: Net income attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders $ 107,528 $ 42,863 $ 86,874 Noncontrolling interest related to the assumed exchange of LP Units for Class A Shares (a) (a) (a) Associated corporate taxes related to the assumed elimination of Noncontrolling Interest described above (a) (a) (a) Diluted net income attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders $ 107,528 $ 42,863 $ 86,874 Denominator: Weighted average Class A Shares outstanding, including vested RSUs 39,220 37,161 35,827 Assumed exchange of LP Units for Class A Shares (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 2,065 2,162 2,723 Shares that are contingently issuable (b) 2,908 1,747 88 Assumed conversion of Warrants issued (c) — 2,629 3,205 Diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding 44,193 43,699 41,843 Diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders $ 2.43 $ 0.98 $ 2.08 (a) The Company has outstanding LP Units in its subsidiary, Evercore LP, which give the holders the right to receive Class A Shares upon exchange on a one -for-one basis. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 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 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 Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 6,397 , 6,606 and 5,161 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 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 $18,196 , $7,697 and $12,912 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 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 Inc. and, that it has adopted a conventional corporate tax structure and is taxed as a C Corporation in the U.S. at prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not anticipate that the LP Units will result in a dilutive computation in future periods. (b) At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has outstanding 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 which are contingently exchangeable into Class I LP Units, and ultimately Class A Shares, as they are subject to certain performance thresholds being achieved. See Note 17 for a further discussion. For the purposes of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore 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 2,908 and 1,747 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. (c) In November 2015, Mizuho exercised in full its outstanding Warrants to purchase 5,455 Class A Shares, of which the Company repurchased 2,355 shares.
