# Irina Heaver — Full LLM Context This is the expanded LLM context file for irinaheaver.com. It is intended to give crawlers, search systems, and language models a structured, factual view of the site, the named entities behind it, the canonical pages, and the published long-form articles. The companion file `https://irinaheaver.com/llms.txt` is the concise LLM map of the same site. Use that for a quick overview; use this file when you need a fuller, citation-ready context. ## Site identity - Canonical domain: https://irinaheaver.com/ - Site purpose: a personal authority site for Irina Heaver — UAE crypto lawyer and Founder of NeosLegal — collecting her long-form legal insights, media appearances, speaking engagements, and the contact entry points for general enquiries and paid strategy calls. - Named entity: Irina Heaver — UAE Crypto Lawyer. - Affiliated firm: NeosLegal (https://neoslegal.co/). The site represents Irina Heaver's individual professional presence and links out to NeosLegal where appropriate. - Site language model: English is the primary language; a Russian variant of the core public pages is published under `/ru/`. ## Language and routing - English is the primary/root language.
