I am going against a BIG company, how do I chose a lawyer for that? Moreover, the idea is highly replicable, but I am 100% sure that no one has figured it out yet. I am not doing anything illegal but I am very sure that the company will change it contractual terms or just might suspend my contract.

Wait: you've signed a contract with the big company, but you don't have a lawyer? If so, big oops.

Get a lawyer, have him review the contract, and ask him to advise you.
