What does an attorney do in a att class action lawsuit?

I’m trying to understand the role of an attorney in a att class action lawsuit. From what I know, a class action lawsuit involves a group of people filing a case together against a company or organization, but I’m not sure how attorneys manage such large cases.

In an AT&T class action lawsuit, the attorney basically represents a group of people who’ve faced the same issue (like overbilling or data problems), gathers evidence, files the case, and handles all the legal work on behalf of everyone involved; from what I’ve seen, they also deal with negotiations or settlements, so individuals don’t have to fight the case on their own.
