AlabamaMechanics Lien

We are a general contractor in Alabama. We did some work for the DNUS facility in Madison Alabama by PO for Baseline electric based out of Kentucky. They had a contract with Marubeni who had the contract to deliver and install from DNUS. Our PO was a time and material PO with no fixed price. Work orders were signed weekly by Baseline. Baseline complained of slow payments from Marubeni but in reality he has received almost one million in payments but only transferred $218,000.00 to us. The second issue is his contract apparently with Marubeni was 1,240,000.00. He advised them early on due to Covid overruns are to be expected. To complicate things Marubeni is claiming baseline was not licensed in AL. In my opinion this is their omission as they contracted it to him and we had no involvement in that contract. Also my opinion they should have gotten partial lien releases signed each month to ensure we were receiving the funds. Where do we stand in this situation
