Lindfelt's professional development took place in Sweden, where he studied law at the University of Lund before beginning his career in Stockholm. His later practice extended to Brussels, the city that hosts the main institutions of the European Union, where his work centers on EU competition law.
Lindfelt received a juris kandidat, the Swedish law degree corresponding to a Bachelor of Laws, from the University of Lund in 1988. Lund University was founded in 1666 by Charles XI and is the second oldest university in Sweden. Its establishment followed Sweden's acquisition of the Scania region from Denmark under the 1658 Treaty of Roskilde, and it was intended in part to bind the region to Sweden through education.
When the university opened, its four core study areas were Law, Theology, Medicine, and Philosophy, and these subjects remained central for more than two centuries. Lindfelt's legal training therefore belonged to one of the university's original faculties, which later grew into a large modern institution.
Lindfelt's career is documented at the international law firm White & Case. He is a partner in the firm's Stockholm office, White & Case Advokat AB, and he is also a partner in Brussels, where he practices with White & Case LLP. The Stockholm office has supported clients since 1983 and now includes more than 70 lawyers advising on transactions in Sweden and across borders.
His practice focuses on European Union law and corporate transactions. He advises multinational companies on mergers and acquisitions that may require prior review under the EU Merger Control Regulation, with a particular focus on the private equity industry. He also advises clients on EU cartel investigations and alleged breaches of competition law, including joint ventures, technology transfer agreements, and distribution arrangements.
Alongside transactional and investigative work, he helps companies build competition compliance programmes. These include due diligence regimes, compliance reviews, and training for employees on EU competition law. His experience covers banking, insurance, energy, airlines, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, and several other sectors.
