Say yes if you otherwise have capacity. The lateral process isn’t done until it’s done. You never know what can happen! People change jobs in the middle of projects all the time, it just it what it is. If you have capacity it would definitely raise suspicion if you say no

Just lateraled myself and I took on projects right up until the end. Yes, it sucks, but team member departures are a fact of life and everyone will understand why you took it on in the first place. Candidly, they'll probably be more appreciative of the fact you pitched in for the time that you had, than upset you took it on with the possibility of leaving. It is, after all, still just a possibility until conflicts clear.
I'd just say yes. Once you give notice, the partners can handle the staffing for your exit. Ideally, you lateraling wouldn't leave anyone in the lurch, but that's like, baby.

Do you already have an offer and just waiting to clear conflicts? If so, would try and ask the other firm if they can expedite. If not, then yeah just work as much as you can
You can book a fat vacation right in the middle of their anticipated timing/closing and then never take it, but it gives you an out in the meantime
I’m in the minority but I said no to 90% of things in the 2 months leading up to my departure. I had cleared conflicts and a start date so i just didn’t care anymore
