History
Founding and establishment
Evercore Partners was founded by Roger Altman in 1995, on the basis that clients would be best served by an investment banking firm free of the conflicts of interest of large financial institutions like Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch
Altman began his career in investment banking at Lehman Brothers, serving as general partner until 1977. After a role as assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury until 1981, Altman returned to Lehman as co-head of global investment banking.
In 1987, Altman joined The Blackstone Group as its head of advisory business before returning to the U.S. Treasury to serve as deputy secretary in 1993.
In 1995, Altman founded Evercore Partners.

Why this record matters
“Evercore” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Evercore, American and financial provides the most credible route into that argument.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5416929. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995, 1977, 1981 and 1987.
Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
