Are there „lawfirms“ that specialize on antitrust?

I know I could google it but I prefer to discuss it here:

There are many interesting discussions about antitrust, companies being jerks and corporats making the world worse.

I think it would be cool to have a couple „rogue“ lawyers band together and start making class action law suits against corporations and states for using/enabling anti consumer/anti competitive practices.

I have never been asked to participate in such lawsuits so I assume its not being optimally presented online so far.

Feel free to correct my impression here.

TL;DR: I think we need more ways to fight against anti consumer/privacy stuff in courts all over the world.

I had a funny+weird idea where lawyers and lawyer students teach each other in order to file mass class action lawsuits

the benefit to this is that ordinary people could basically choose which ones to hop on/bandwagon

the potential con would be that this might draw a big target on whoever decides to do this
