Hi Joseph, 
This is happening because in reactjs you cannot have two <a> inside each other, from what i see that you have 

<TableCell component={RouterLink} to={`/client/${client.id}`} className={classes.rowsForLoop}>

and inside it there is Link 

<Link
 color="textPrimary"
 component={RouterLink}
 to="/client/1"
 variant="h6"
>

So the browser compile it to be 

<a href="/somewhere"> <a href="#"></a> </a>

and this is an issue in Reactjs so you need to remove the link component from the ‘TableCell’ or you need to remove the Link tag from inside it 
Thanks
