if (caseWeb.Title != SelectedCase.caseName)
    {

Solved... ` var siteProperties = await context2.GetSiteCollectionManager().GetSiteCollectionPropertiesAsync(caseWeb.Url);

siteProperties.Title = SelectedCase.caseName;

await siteProperties.UpdateAsync(); `

If the user in question is a tenant admin but does not have the proper permissions on the site collection to make the changes as a site user there will be a permission denied error. Using the admin api's indeed is the solution here.
