Dr. Jürgen Beninca berät europäische und internationale Mandanten in Fragen des europäischen Kartellrechts und vertritt diese vor deutschen und europäischen Kartellbehörden und Gerichten. Kartellrechtliche Bußgeldverfahren und Schadensersatzprozesse bilden Schwerpunkte seiner Praxis. Darüber hinaus berät er Mandanten zu Fragen der Lieferketten Compliance und berät sie in Verfahren der Investitionsprüfung nach der Außenwirtschaftsverordnung.

Herrn Benincas langjährige Erfahrung umfasst deutsche und europäische Fusionskontrollverfahren des Bundeskartellamts und der Europäischen Kommission in einer Vielzahl von Industriesektoren. Er war weiterhin an verschiedenen internationalen, europäischen und deutschen kartellrechtlichen Bußgeldverfahren in der Finanz-, Zement-, Automobil-, Versicherungs- und Industriemineralindustrie beteiligt. Seine regulatorische Tätigkeit konzentriert sich auf das Vertriebskartellrecht und die Verhinderung des Missbrauchs marktbeherrschender Stellungen.

Für einen Gebäckhersteller konnte Herr Beninca in einem Bußgeldverfahren wegen des alleinigen Austauschs wettbewerbsrechtlich sensibler Informationen signifikante Erfolge erzielen. Überdies verteidigt er einen Automobilzulieferer gegen kartellrechtliche Schadensersatzforderungen eines Automobilherstellers. Im Rahmen von M&A-Transaktionen prüft Dr. Beninca die Notwendigkeit von Anmeldungen nach den jeweils geltenden Regelungen der Investitionsprüfung weltweit und nimmt Anmeldungen nach der deutschen Außenwirtschaftsverordnung vor. Darüber hinaus berät Dr. Beninca deutsche und internationale Mandanten zur EU Lieferketten-Richtlinie, zur Waldschutzverordnung, zur EU Zwangsarbeitsverordnung und zum deutschen Lieferkettengesetz.

Dr. Jürgen Beninca ist durch zahlreiche Aufsätze und Kommentare zu Fragen des deutschen und internationalen Kartellrechts hervorgetreten, veröffentlichte ein Buch zur Anwendung des Kartellrechts in Unternehmen und übernahm im „Handbuch Unternehmenskauf“ von Dr. Wolfgang Hölters das Kapitel „Investitionsprüfung“. Zuletzt veröffentlichte er in der Wirtschaft und Wettbewerb einen Aufsatz zum Verhaltnis zwischen dem Boykottverbot des GWB und dem Lieferkettengesetz. Er ist Mitglied der Studienvereinigung Kartellrecht und des Forum Investitionsprüfung.
