Provazza is a former assistant attorney general and chief of the Consumer & Economic Justice Unit for the Rhode Island Office of the Attorney General, where he led the state's consumer protection, antitrust, and data privacy enforcement efforts. He supervised investigations involving healthcare transactions, pricing conduct, advertising practices, consumer finance, and emerging technology issues, and advised on related legislation and regulations.
A specialist in healthcare antitrust, state-level transaction review, and competition investigations and enforcement, Provazza played a central role in Rhode Island’s healthcare transaction review process, worked closely with the Rhode Island Department of Health and the Federal Trade Commission on major hospital system combinations, and helped craft the state’s healthcare pre-merger notification rules. He also participated in bipartisan multistate investigations that produced significant recoveries and nationwide injunctive relief.
Joining AGG as a partner, Provazza will advise healthcare systems, private equity sponsors, and companies across regulated industries on antitrust risk, transaction strategy, and government investigations. Prior to joining AGG, he served in senior enforcement roles at the Rhode Island Office of the Attorney General and has represented parties in matters involving the SEC, the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
