Case Study: BRM Patent Attorneys’ Website Overhaul & Local SEO Strategy

Despite being a leader in patent law, BRM Patent Attorneys faced major digital challenges:

BRM Patent Attorneys is a top-tier intellectual property law firm in Australia, specialising in patents, trademarks, and IP litigation. But their digital presence didn’t reflect their expertise.

Their old website? Bland, outdated, and ineffective. It failed to showcase their authority, struggled with navigation, and was nearly unusable on mobile.

They needed a digital transformation—one that elevated their brand, attracted clients, and converted visitors. That’s where Sutherland Shire Web Design stepped in.
