The Lobbyists' Lobbyists

Yes, the American League of Lobbyists is a professional organization that among other things represents lobbyists. Here's part of what they say about themselves.

Established in 1979 as a nonprofit organization, The American League of Lobbyists (ALL) is the national professional association dedicated exclusively to lobbying. ALL's mission is to enhance the development of professionalism, competence and high ethical standards for advocates in the public policy arena, and to collectively address challenges affecting the first amendment right to “petition the government for redress of grievances.”

And yes, they are suing the administration over rules restricting contact with lobbyists. What really concerns me is that they may have a case.
