For design purposes we have a sub-category called Brands which list all the brands. However we would like the urls to ignoer /brands/ part so domain.com/brands/brand_name would be domain/brand_name instead. We use this for products as well and we would like the tree to look like domain.com/brand_name/product_name

Where can we make such changes? Note that we also have additional categories and we just want to make changes to "brands"

See Magento build in url rewrites catalog section:

You can change the urls in the admin under Catalog->URL Rewrite Management rewrite section, do note however that if you afterwards change the url key for either 'brands' or 'brand_name' that you will have to redo these changes as it will rewrite the request path with 'brands' in it again.

Issue solved. Made the below change in "code/Local/Mage/Catalog/Model/Url.php" and refreshed the Index.

//if (null === $parentPath) {
//    $parentPath = $this->getResource()->getCategoryParentPath($category);
//}
//elseif ($parentPath == '/') {
    $parentPath = '';
//}
