Boston-based private equity firm Thomas H. Lee Partners has agreed to acquire food marketing and services company Acosta for more than $2 billion, Bloomberg reports. For Jacksonville-based Acosta, the deal means moving from one private equity owner, AEA Investors, to another in THL.

Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson corporate partner Steven Steinman in New York led a team from the firm advising Acosta on the acquisition. The firm advised New York-based AEA in July 2006 when it bought a stake in Acosta from another private equity firm, Berkshire Partners. (Acosta’s general counsel is Drew Prusiecki.)
