Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies For a complete discussion of the Company's accounting policies, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. *Basis of Presentation* – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The December 31, 2011 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP's wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. ("EGL"), a registered broker-dealer in the U.S. The Company's policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE, except for certain VIEs that qualify for accounting purposes as investment companies. Generally, the Company would consolidate those entities when it absorbs a majority of the expected losses or a majority of the expected residual returns, or both, of the entities. All intercompany balances and transactions with the Company's subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2011-03 – In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-03, "Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements" ("ASU 2011-03"). ASU 2011-03 provides amendments to ASC No. 860 "Transfers and Servicing", which remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with early adoption not permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-03 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto. ASU 2011-04 – In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS" ("ASU 2011-04"). ASU 2011-04 provides amendments to ASC No. 820 "Fair Value Measurement", which results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure of fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Some of the amendments clarify the Board's intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while others change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption not permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto. See Note 9 for further information. ASU 2011-05 – In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2011-05"). ASU 2011-05 provides amendments to ASC No. 220 "Comprehensive Income", which require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in this update are effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The FASB decided that the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income will be deferred (See-"ASU 2011-12" below). The adoption of ASU 2011-05 resulted in the inclusion of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-08 – In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, "Testing Goodwill for Impairment" ("ASU 2011-08"). ASU 2011-08 provides amendments to ASC No. 350 "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other", which are intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Also, the amendments improve the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to measure an impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto. ASU 2011-11 – In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"). ASU 2011-11 provides amendments to ASC No. 210, "Balance Sheet", which are intended to enhance disclosures required by U.S. GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. This information will enable users of an entity's financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity's financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments in the scope of this update. The amendments in this update are effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this update on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. ASU 2011-12 – In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, "Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05" ("ASU 2011-12"). ASU 2011-12 provides amendments to ASU No. 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income," which provides amendments to ASC No. 220 "Comprehensive Income." The amendments in ASU 2011-12 defer only those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments, to allow the Board time to redeliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by this update, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The amendments are effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-12 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.

Note 7 – 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", formerly Protego Casa de Bolsa, S.A. de C.V. ("PCB")), enters into repurchase agreements with clients seeking overnight money market returns whereby ECB transfers to the clients Mexican government securities in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to repurchase the securities at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus a stipulated premium or interest factor. ECB deploys the cash received from, and acquires the securities deliverable to, clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market, which the Company reflects as Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, or by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties. The Company accounts for these repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements as collateralized financing transactions, which are carried at their contract amounts, which approximate fair value given that the contracts generally mature the following business day. The Company records a liability on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in relation to repurchase transactions executed with clients as Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. The Company records as assets on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value (where the Company has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market) and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell (where the Company has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase agreements by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties). These Mexican government securities have an estimated average time to maturity of approximately 2.7 years, as of March 31, 2012, and are pledged as collateral against repurchase agreements. Generally, collateral is posted equal to the contract value at inception and is subject to market changes. These repurchase agreements are primarily with institutional customer accounts managed by ECB and permit the counterparty to pledge the securities.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, a summary of the Company's assets, liabilities and collateral received or pledged related to these transactions was as follows:


	March 31, 2012						December 31, 2011
	Asset (Liability) Balance			Market Value of Collateral Received or (Pledged)			Asset (Liability) Balance			Market Value of Collateral Received or (Pledged)

Investments

Note 8 – Investments

The Company's investments reported on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition consist of investments in private equity partnerships and other investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies. The Company's investments are relatively high-risk and illiquid assets. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on our private equity investments are included within Investment Management Revenue. The Company's share of earnings (losses) on its investments in G5, ABS Investment Management, LLC ("ABS") and Evercore Pan-Asset Capital Management ("Pan") are included within Income (Loss) from Equity Method Investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company's investments in private equity partnerships include investments in Evercore Capital Partners II L.P. and its affiliated entities ("ECP II"), Discovery Americas I, L.P. (the "Discovery Fund"), Evercore Mexico Capital Partners II ("EMCP II"), CSI Capital, L.P. ("CSI Capital") and Trilantic Capital Partners Associates IV L.P. ("Trilantic IV"). 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.

A summary of the Company's investments in private equity funds as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was as follows:

In the event ECP II performs poorly, the Company may be obligated to repay certain carried interest previously distributed. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had $2,701 of previously received carried interest that may be subject to repayment.

Trilantic Capital Partners

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company made an investment in Trilantic Capital Partners ("Trilantic"). See Note 12 for further information. This investment had a balance of $15,527 and $15,549 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), among other matters, requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily-available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level I – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I include listed equities and listed derivatives. As required by ASC 820, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where Evercore 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 these securities are based on quoted market prices provided by external pricing services.

Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

The following table presents the categorization of investments and certain other assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:


	March 31, 2012
	Level I		Level II		Level III		Total

Mutual Funds		8,938		—		—		8,938
Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value		127,178		—		—		127,178

Total Assets Measured At Fair Value	$	145,266	$	109,491	$	—	$	254,757

(1)	Includes $10,601 and $46,291 of municipal bonds and commercial paper classified within Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 three months ended March 31, 2012 or the year ended December 31, 2011.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's financial instrument assets and liabilities which are not measured at fair value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition are listed in the tables below.

Noncontrolling Interest

Note 12 – Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling Interest recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company relates to a 21% interest in Evercore LP, a 28% interest in ECB, a 49% interest in Evercore Wealth Management ("EWM"), a 34% equity interest in Atalanta Sosnoff Capital L.L.C. ("Atalanta Sosnoff"), a 37% interest in Institutional Equities and a 14% interest in Evercore Trust Company, N.A. ("ETC"), not owned by the Company at March 31, 2012. The Atalanta Sosnoff interest excludes the Series C Profits Interest, which has been reflected in Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Noncontrolling Interest for Evercore LP, EWM, Atalanta Sosnoff, Institutional Equities and ETC have rights, in certain circumstances, to convert into Class A Shares.

Changes in Noncontrolling Interest for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

In February 2010, the Company issued 500 LP Units in exchange for a minority economic interest in Trilantic. At December 31, 2014, at the option of the holder, these LP Units are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Class A Shares or may be redeemed for cash of $16,500. This transaction resulted in Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition of $16,090, representing the fair value of the LP Units exchanged at the date of issuance. This value is being accreted to the minimum redemption value of $16,500 over the five-year period ended December 31, 2014. Accretion was $21 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

In conjunction with the Company's purchase agreement with Atalanta Sosnoff, the Company issued a management member of Atalanta Sosnoff certain capital interests in Atalanta Sosnoff, which are redeemable for cash, at their fair value. Accordingly, these capital interests have been reflected at their fair value of $4,877 and $5,300 within Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

(a)

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the LP Units (which represent the right to receive shares of Class A Shares upon exchange) were antidilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders. The units that would have been included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 9,096 and 11,968 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(b)

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Warrants were antidilutive and consequently the additional shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders. The additional shares that would have been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 1,186 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, reduced for the impact of the Treasury Stock Method, if applicable. ASC 260, "Earnings per Share," requires that the dilutive effect of warrants with multiple conversion alternatives be determined based on the alternative which is most advantageous to the holder of the exchangeable Senior Notes and Warrants. This will generally occur when the market value of the Company's stock exceeds the exercise price of the Warrants, requiring dilution to be determined using the Treasury Stock Method. In certain limited circumstances the dilutive effect of conversion would be calculated using the If-Converted Method. Antidilution is the result of the Company having a loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

(c)

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the additional shares of the Company's common stock assumed to be issued pursuant to non-vested restricted stock and RSUs as calculated using the Treasury Stock Method were antidilutive and consequently the additional shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders. The additional shares that would have been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 2,034 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Antidilution is the result of the Company having a loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

The shares of Class B common stock have no right to receive dividends or a distribution on liquidation or winding up of Evercore Partners Inc. The shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings of Evercore Partners Inc. and no earnings are allocable to such class. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income per share of Class B common stock have not been presented.

Share-Based And Other Deferred Compensation	Mar. 31, 2012
Share-Based And Other Deferred Compensation [Abstract]
Share-Based And Other Deferred Compensation	Note 14 – Share-Based and Other Deferred Compensation Subsequent to the IPO, the Company granted new and existing employees RSUs and restricted stock. Certain of these awards vested upon the same terms as the RSUs issued at the time of the IPO ("Event-based Awards") and certain of these awards vest from one to five years ("Service-based Awards"). During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company granted employees 2,529 Service-based Awards. These awards had grant date fair values ranging from $27.05 to $29.19 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, 1,247 Service-based Awards vested and 194 Service-based Awards were forfeited. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company launched a deferred compensation program providing participants the ability to elect to receive a portion of their deferred compensation in deferred cash, which is indexed to a notional investment portfolio. The Company awarded deferred cash compensation of $3,926 related to this program during the first quarter of 2012 which will vest ratably over four years and require payment upon vesting. Compensation expense related to this deferred compensation program was $984 and $252 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Compensation expense related to Service-based Awards, excluding compensation costs related to the amortization of the LP Units was $14,661 and $11,765 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Compensation expense related to amortization of the LP Units was $4,759 and $5,057 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Compensation expense related to acquisition-related awards and deferred cash consideration was $6,253 and $2,870, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2012. During 2011, the Company modified equity-based compensation awards resulting in the Company recognizing $1,646 in incremental compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company granted separation benefits of $5,910 to certain employees, resulting in approximately $4,545 of expense included in Employee Compensation and Benefits expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company distributed cash payments of $3,636 during the quarter in conjunction with these arrangements. The remainder of the expense is expected to be incurred by the end of 2012.

Commitments And Contingencies	3 Months Ended
Commitments And Contingencies	Mar. 31, 2012
Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies For a complete discussion of the Company's commitments, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. *Operating Leases* – The Company leases office space under non-cancelable lease agreements, which expire on various dates through 2023. The Company reflects lease expense over the lease terms on a straight-line basis. Occupancy lease agreements, in addition to base rentals, generally are subject to escalation provisions based on certain costs incurred by the landlord. Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes occupancy rental expense relating to operating leases of $5,485 and $3,557 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. *Other Commitments* – As of March 31, 2012, the Company has unfunded commitments for capital contributions of $5,586 to the private equity funds. These commitments will be funded as required through the end of each private equity fund's investment period, subject to certain conditions. Such commitments are satisfied in cash and are generally required to be made as investment opportunities are consummated by the private equity funds. The Company also has commitments related to its redeemable noncontrolling interests. See Note 12 for further information. 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 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 predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot predict the 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. Legal reserves are established in accordance with ASC 450, "Accounting for Contingencies" when warranted. Once established, reserves are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.

The entire disclosure for commitments and contingencies.

Regulatory Authorities	Note 16 – Regulatory Authorities EGL is a U.S. registered broker-dealer and is subject to the net capital requirements of Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Rule 15c3-1 requires the maintenance of net capital, as defined, which shall be the greater of $100 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness, as defined. EGL's regulatory net capital as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $36,202 and $67,893, respectively, which exceeded the minimum net capital requirement by $35,102 and $66,726, respectively. Certain other non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to various securities and banking regulations and capital adequacy requirements promulgated by the regulatory and exchange authorities of the countries in which they operate. These subsidiaries have consistently operated in excess of their local capital adequacy requirements. ETC, which is limited to fiduciary activities, is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") and is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System. The Company, Evercore LP and ETC are subject to written agreements with the OCC that, among other things, require the Company and Evercore LP to (1) maintain at least $5,000 in Tier 1 capital in ETC (or such other amount as the OCC may require), (2) maintain liquid assets in ETC in an amount at least equal to the greater of $3,500 or 90 days coverage of ETC's operating expenses and (3) provide at least $10,000 of certain collateral held in a segregated account at a third-party depository institution. The collateral is included in Assets Segregated for Bank Regulatory Requirements on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company was in compliance with the aforementioned agreements as of March 31, 2012.

The entire disclosure for banks, savings institutions, and credit unions, for regulatory capital requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve System (FRB), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) or for any state imposed capital requirements, as applicable.

Also may include additional information that might be disclosed in situations where substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

Income Taxes	3 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Mar. 31, 2012
Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 17 – Income Taxes The Company's Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes was ($4,638) and $4,436 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The effective tax rate was 48% and 36% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2012 and 2011 reflects the effect of certain nondeductible expenses, including the vesting of LP Units, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units. The Company reported a decrease in deferred tax assets of ($2,417) associated with changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, there was $1,085 of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate a significant change in unrecognized tax positions as a result of the settlement of income tax audits for examining the Company's income tax returns during the upcoming year. The Company classifies interest relating to tax matters and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits, the Company accrued interest and penalties of $21 and $1, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and had recognized a liability for penalties of $256 and interest of $352 at March 31, 2012.

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Segment Operating Results [Abstract]

Segment Operating Results

Segment Operating Results

Note 18 – Segment Operating Results

Business Segments – The Company's business results are categorized into the following two segments: Investment Banking and Investment Management. Investment Banking includes providing advice to clients on significant mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic corporate transactions, as well as services related to securities underwriting, private fund placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. During 2011, the Investment Banking segment expanded to include the acquisition of Lexicon. Investment Management includes advising third-party investors in the Institutional Asset Management, Wealth Management and Private Equity sectors.

The Company's segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was prepared using the following methodology:

•

Revenue, expenses and income (loss) from equity method investments directly associated with each segment are included in determining pre-tax income.

•

Expenses not directly associated with specific segments are allocated based on the most relevant measures applicable, including headcount and other factors.

•

Segment assets are based on those directly associated with each segment, or for certain assets shared across segments, those assets are allocated based on the most relevant measures applicable, including headcount and other factors.

•

Investment gains and losses, interest income and interest expense are allocated between the segments based on the segment in which the underlying asset or liability is held.

Each segment's Operating Expenses include: a) employee compensation and benefits expenses that are incurred directly in support of the segment and b) non-compensation expenses, which include expenses for premises and occupancy, professional fees, travel and entertainment, communications and information services, equipment and indirect support costs (including compensation and other operating expenses related thereto) for administrative services. Such administrative services include, but are not limited to, accounting, tax, legal, facilities management and senior management activities. Other Expenses include amortization costs associated with the modification of unvested LP Units and certain other awards, compensation charges associated with deferred consideration, retention awards and related compensation for Lexicon employees and amortization of intangibles associated with certain acquisitions.

The Company evaluates segment results based on net revenue and pre-tax income, both including and excluding the impact of the Other Expenses.

No clients accounted for more than 10% of the Company's consolidated Net Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company granted separation benefits to employees of its Investment Banking segment. See Note 14 for further information.

The following information provides a reasonable representation of each segment's contribution.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policy)	Mar. 31, 2012
Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	*Basis of Presentation* – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The December 31, 2011 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP's wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. ("EGL"), a registered broker-dealer in the U.S. The Company's policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE, except for certain VIEs that qualify for accounting purposes as investment companies. Generally, the Company would consolidate those entities when it absorbs a majority of the expected losses or a majority of the expected residual returns, or both, of the entities. All intercompany balances and transactions with the Company's subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

[1]	During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the LP Units (which represent the right to receive shares of Class A Shares upon exchange) were antidilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders. The units that would have been included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 9,096 and 11,968 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
[2]	During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the additional shares of the Company's common stock assumed to be issued pursuant to non-vested restricted stock and RSUs as calculated using the Treasury Stock Method were antidilutive and consequently the additional shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders. The additional shares that would have been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 2,034 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Antidilution is the result of the Company having a loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
[3]	For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Warrants were antidilutive and consequently the additional shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders. The additional shares that would have been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 1,186 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, reduced for the impact of the Treasury Stock Method, if applicable. ASC 260, "Earnings per Share," requires that the dilutive effect of warrants with multiple conversion alternatives be determined based on the alternative which is most advantageous to the holder of the exchangeable Senior Notes and Warrants. This will generally occur when the market value of the Company's stock exceeds the exercise price of the Warrants, requiring dilution to be determined using the Treasury Stock Method. In certain limited circumstances the dilutive effect of conversion would be calculated using the If-Converted Method. Antidilution is the result of the Company having a loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
