Jan Grotheer
Jan Grotheer (* 1945 in Hanover ) is a German lawyer and former President of the Hamburg Finance Court.
Live and act
After studying law with a doctorate in the field of labor law, Jan Grotheer settled in Hamburg as a lawyer. He then worked from 1975 to 1982 - interrupted by a three-year activity as press spokesman for the judicial authority - as a judge at the Hamburg District Court.
In October 1982 he moved to the Hamburg Finance Court, a supreme state authority that is responsible for tax, customs, child benefit and European trademark law, among other things.
In 1990 he was appointed presiding judge, in 1992 vice-president and in autumn 1997 president of the tax court. He remained chairman of the 6th Senate, which is primarily responsible for large companies.
Among other things, Grotheer made a name for himself as a modernizer of organizational structures and bureaucratic processes not only in the district court and the finance court, but also in the Hamburg judiciary as a whole. In 1990, under his leadership, a model experiment for the introduction of electronic (i.e. paperless) legal transactions in court proceedings was started. In 2002, the Finance Court was the first national authority to introduce the option of complete judicial proceedings electronically, which can significantly shorten the duration of legal proceedings. In autumn 2010 Grotheer retired.
