THE FIRST EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT INCLUDED A FORUM SELECTION CLAUSE, THE SECOND AGREEMENT REQUIRED ARBITRATION, THE SECOND AGREEMENT SUPERSEDED THE FIRST (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined that an agreement signed after the employment agreement superseded the employment agreement. Therefore the dispute was subject to arbitration based upon the second agreement:

After [plaintiff] and defendant Mirae Asset Securities (USA) Inc. had entered into an employment agreement which contained a forum selection clause, plaintiff executed a “Uniform Application for Securities Industry Registration or Transfer” (Form U-4), which contains an arbitration provision. We find that the Form U-4 supersedes the employment agreement and therefore that the parties' dispute must be arbitrated.

This dispute is governed by state contract law principles … . The first principle is that “a subsequent contract regarding the same matter will supersede the prior contract” … . The determination whether a subsequent agreement is superseding is fact-driven … . Plaintiff's execution of a valid U-4 Form constituted an agreement to limit his contractual remedies when he signed the U-4 Form… . The U-4 Form encompasses the same employment-related disputes as were addressed in the employment agreement. Thus, the forum selection clause was effectively extinguished … . Hyuncheol Hwang v Mirae Asset Sec. (USA) Inc., 2018 NY Slip Op 06485, First Dept 10-2-18
