Acquisitions in Virginia in 2011

Cardno, the Brisbane-based professional services firm, acquired TEC Inc., a 330-person environmental and infrastructure consulting firm headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia. 7 Mile Advisors acted as exclusive sell-side advisor; the deal expands Cardno's U.S. environmental capabilities, access to U.S. government clients, and provides TEC with greater international reach and growth opportunities.

Alexandria-based cybersecurity firm MANDIANT received a strategic investment from One Equity Partners (OEP) and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB). The minority growth investment will support scaling MANDIANT's products and services, and both firms took board seats to help accelerate expansion of the company's incident response and forensic capabilities.
